Election day

Yesterday we went to the polling stations again. We did it earlier this year when voting for the EU Parliament. This time it was the elction for the regional councils.

The turnout was 65,8 % - the lowest in 35 years. Some argue that it is because of the H1N1 virus. No matter what then it is not impressing.

  1. I'm a fan of mail-in ballots, that way I can protect myself from long lines and viruses.

  3. Our state has gone entirely to mail in ballots. The numbers are up because of it too.

  4. Interesting that mail in ballot actually have increased the turnout. I agree that it is easier, but you miss the nice atmosphere in the election room. Wonder when we can cast our vote online.
