.... I'm amazed today how many of my customers and staff; and callers to FM radio stations have been talking about the lines at the polling centres; people delayed to cast their vote...
Have we become that Americanized?? .... whatever has happened to people cuing for something..?? grrrr >:D >:D >:D
.... yes, I'm sure I am turning into a GOM ;D ;D

I just voted and was surprised there was no queue. I was also surprised with the people who are usually shoving 'how to vote' crap in your face, they were very subdued as if they were also over it.

Same, same - one of them wasn't even pushing the forms out - he was just waiting for people to ask for them ???
Mind you, it would need something like an 18% swing for Liberal to lose this seat, so maybe they couldn't be bothered :D
On the same lines, over the full campaign, we've received the normal 3 monthly newsletter from our sitting Member, telling us what a wonderful job the Lib's are doing ???, plus another letter with postal vote applications & that has been it.
Not one pamphlet, how-to-vote or anything from the other 4 candidates ???
Having said that, I can't really say that I missed it getting it all though! >:D

I got a text at 8am to say vote labor to save Medicare! Third text of this campaign with no opt out and when I text back "no" it fails to send. One would think that illegal if one of our businesses do it but I bet there's some opt out of the law for political parties arrrrh

Are you in a marginal seat Jim?
We're in a safe Labor seat (Julia was ours, sorry ::) ::)) and we didn't get anything like that.....feeling a little left out now...

I'm in a rural area, so we go to an obscure booth to cast our vote and often make a day of it. We could go 6km the other way and have to line up and walk 200m from a carpark in town to the school, or not.
Today 'Just popping down to vote' took 4 hours, 1/4 tank of fuel, included lunch and I only had to line up as long a it took to get my wallet out to prove who I was. The Mrs was disappointed though, there were no democracy sausages on offer from the school P&C.
The Electoral Commission collects the data on how many votes were given to each candidate at each booth, so traveling helps skew the demographic statistics for the booth, and I'm a bit of a stirrer, so that appeals to me.
So, now to follow my Dads tradition of sitting on the lounge and sipping port while the votes come in, unfortunately some self-serving clown will be PM tomorrow and we won't see or hear from our local member until they come out trying to convince us they have been working tirelessly for us for the past 3-4 years..

Doing better than our local puppet, he spends all his time in hiding as he got caught doing dodgy deals with Chinese money.
But its OK, he'll be voted back in.. ;D

Well that might explain why the staff at check in I noticed put her initials on my 2 voting sheets... effectively linking my votes with her check off book / electrical roll??....
I thought at the time - how does that make the voting process totally anonymous and democratic; aka... welcome a gulag 1950s style USSR....

Just got home about 15 minutes ago from walking up the road to cast our vote. No lining up at all, there was more people running the place then voters....I have no idea why people go up early and line up to vote.
-
They mark that you voted and they mark that the paper was issued. There is nothing linking the 2, unless you were the only person to vote at that booth for the day.
-
The only way to vote is to vote for who you expect to bend you over and play hide the sausage without lube the least, cause none of them will do anything FOR you.

The papers are issued by the role checking person.
You have to be on the role to get the papers.
For the papers to be valid, they have to have the role checkers squiggle in the corner.
No squiggle, not counted.
You then go off to a nearby location and complete the papers as required.
They should not be able to see or record your choice, even though you are still within their view.
Once you complete the papers, you then place/insert those papers into a ballot box with everybody else's.
Did you sign those ballot papers with your name address and phone No.? I hope not.
That's the only way, unless you get them to help you fill out the ballot papers.
Then you get the Deceased people who still vote from beyond the grave, good trick if you can get it done.
Did you use a pencil to fill out the forms, I hope not.
So much easier to change a pencil mark than a ballpoint pen or felt tip pen/marker vote.

Appreciate the intelligent response. ... one thing with Mr Squizzle ... ( eer the pencil to record your vote...)..
I think that is legislation; or a rule or something like that. ..
The use of the graphite is to prevent the loss of (an historic) vote; through the ink of a quill; or early pen; fading to grey....
For the trolls - historic here means a vote at anytime -(1901 to 2006 etc) - more than say 10 years old.....

You can use your own pen (pen of any kind or pencil etc).
Reasons for the pencil includes cost and reliability apparently.

I would borrow the pencil as bugger me I am always looking for a pencil when in the workshop.
I guess there is some foreign company that has the contract to supply the pencils for the election and another contract to supply and tie the string to the pencil.
-
I guess if one's brain thinks hard enough it can invent a foreign conspiracy in even a simple pencil ;D ;D ;D

I was amused to hear the headline A nation divided! on two of the TV news shows on Sunday.
I wouldn't say we are divided, I'd argue the nation was more united than ever. Both sides failed to make an impression, so we voted for the mob we hated the least, or an independent. if only there was a 'None of the above' box to tick
We are also united in asking What the hell were they thinking?? ??? of all those that gave Pauline another seat.

Only problem with last night's MW was how it demonstrated yet again how biased the ABC is....
Why why why no mention of Labor's election day texting blitz to "save medicare"...
I thought using telecommunications carriers to transmit this (political) stuff would have been part of what a programme called "Media Watch" .. would have wanted to discuss?? ...unless the comrades in the office said no - then how biased they are...

& mentions:
"There are bound to be disputes over votes and, in seats where it really comes down to the wire, there could be legal challenges.
Sometimes, with postal or absentee votes, it will be "a long and tedious process", Green says, "because the parties will check every name that's come in and check it against their list of who they think that's voted and they'll maybe question a signature here or date of birth on the form".
How the hell do the "parties" know what my signature looks like, or what my DoB is? ??? >:(
Note that it doesn't say the AEC, it says the (political) parties.
So, what, LNP / ALP have got access to a copy of my driver's licence or similar to check signature etc?
Does anyone know just how the hell this actually works?

The signature you refer to would be the AEC officer signature placed on each voting form as they are handed to the voter. The DoB would be on the details held by the AEC for each registered voter
I think the signature referred to is the signature of the polling booth person who handed out the voting forms as they are required to sign the forms. DoB maybe part of the ID process when registering for the Electral roll, but was a long time ago for me, however the kids quickly got notified when they became eligible to vote.

It was explained on the ABC morning show today, yes, I am at home this week and have no life...
For a postal vote:
You fill in your paper and seal it in an envelope. You then stick that envelope in another envelope, on which you fill in all the boxes so they can find you on the electoral role and sign it to say it was yours. It then all gets sealed in another envelope and that all gets posted.
It arrives at the tally room for your electorate (all have to go to the electorate you are voting in are to be counted).
The outer envelope is opened and discarded.
The middle envelope details are compared against your entry in the role to make sure it is you and that you didn't vote twice.
That envelope is opened and retained as evidence that you voted just in case the result is disputed in court.
The unidentified inner envelope is removed and placed in a container until such time that there is a sufficient sized batch assembled to make counting worthwhile. Then the unidentified inner envelope is opened and the votes counted.
So the chance of them tracing back that it was you that drew a big penis on the senate ballot paper are low.
