I'm not sure how I would confirm that the ballot is counted while I'm at the polling place.
I know that there is a place to drop in paper ballots when you fill them out at the polling place. There's also a machine that counts the electronic ballots when you've completed one and printed it out.
Beyond submitting the paper ballot in the drop box, I don't know how I could determine that the ballot was accurately counted. What do you suggest? Am I missing something?
As far as anime is concerned, you should try Dr. Stone, The Promised Neverland, Re: Zero, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Attack on Titan is in it's final season, and if you haven't seen it, now is the time to start. Also, I've been watching Uchuu Kyoudai, which translates to "Space Brothers." This is an older anime, but it's definitely worth looking into. If you haven't tried Vinland Saga, then give it a go. I've also been watching Made in Abyss. There is a short anime series and a movie accompanying it.
For video games, I've been playing Portal, Portal 2, and Slay the Spire. I've been meaning to finish Hollow Knight and play Wizard of Legend. I just bought Danganronpa and I plan to try that out at some point. I started playing Terraria some time back but stopped after a while. I'll get back to that eventually.
I wish that I could, but my current situation makes that difficult. My post mentions this.
