Yeah election day is a holiday here, and voting is open for weeks in advance leading up to it just in case people canāt find the time.
Not to mention the fact that we have preferential voting, so people are better off putting more independent/smaller parties first so they have a better chance of getting seats
Definitely times I wish we were more like Australia where Iām pretty certain voting is legally required.

Also the sausage sizzle
When I first heard about democracy sausages I thought it was a way to make fun of uncultured Americans and our bland bologna style hot dogs.
Iām so jealous that you get sausages when you vote! So much better than a sticker!!

Shit I wish. Though most Americans are lazy enough they would just fill in random bubbles to fulfill the requirement.
