its probably a good thing that voting in mandatory. I already put 10x more effort into putting the stupid slip in the envelope than I would normally be prepared to do. Ended up giving up and holding it to stuff it in. Am I allowed? Dont care. Jobs done. and frankly given I did some research and didn't just draw a dick I'm prepared to bet I put in more effort than some folks will.
Council elections? I had a lot of trouble getting the envelope open far enough to put the ballot paper in. Ended up sticking a skewer in and waggling it about before putting the ballot paper in. I diagnose crappy quality control of envelope specifications.
My partner and I did ours over the weekend. 5 candidates, and one of them needed an editor for their blurb honestly. Completely nonsensical. Put them 5 haha.
I've done mine, but turns out that both the post boxes near home are no longer there. Shows how often I post something & how much attention I pay. I'll drive around with it later until I find one.
