Why would they need to vote with lanterns just because the power's out? You can still mark a piece of paper by sunlight.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I bet because voting requires privacy booths.

There weren't using the lanterns to light the booths; they were using the lanterns to actually cast the votes.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

It looks like they are using them as reading lamps.
