print("List out all selected options : ", selected_option)

driver = webdriver.Chrome("/Users/admin/Documents/Skill2Lead/Others/drivers/chromedriver.exe")

driver.get("http://www.dummypoint.com/seleniumtemplate.html")
time.sleep(2)

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 25, poll_frequency=1,
                     ignored_exceptions=[ElementNotVisibleException, NoSuchElementException])
ele = wait.until(ec.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "multiselect")))
