General elections, anywhere

Postby jessia » Sat Oct 08, 2011 12:13 am

my province had a general election yesterday and less than half of all eligible voters turned out... it was the lowest voter turnout in our entire history. :(

do your jurisdictions have these problems too?

into her pure features come from the pure constellations?"

In the United States we have the opposite problem. Too many people vote who probably shouldn't, and they cast their votes for people who probably shouldn't run. Thank God everybody doesn't vote, or we'd have Lady Gaga in the White House.

A sense of obligation."
