Reminds me of how everything on a computer used to be a “program”, but now they’re all just “apps”
Votes by mail sound a bit risky to me as well. I know the postal service has lost packages and stuff before. Are there special envelopes? Special ways to tell that the vote hasn’t been lost or “lost”?
Also, is it at least free? Postage already paid for?
That sounds a little complicated as well, so it seems that might be a barrier to entry as well.
I can also imagine that people who have to work extra to make ends meet might not have the luxury of taking time off to vote?
Oh my god, I feel that so much!
I forgot to mention that we vote every 4 years on a municipal level and every 4 years on a national government level (offset by two years like summer and winter olympics).
I just looked at the primary elections where we pick the prime minister and parliament, not the smaller municipal elections.
Anyway, it’s on average around 77-78%.
It’s actually a bit surprising. When I saw these numbers, I thought “shit, 77% is our average? That sucks”, heheh. Guess it’s pretty decent after all
In norway, the lowest voter turnout we’ve ever had is 75.4%
A charitable reading says that you should still research and verify the things that are “a given”. I mean, YOU know it, I know it, we all know it here… But at least now we have an official report to point to when people try to downplay it?
Ah, who am I kidding? They wouldn’t care anyway
Which one? I remember the Bioware Sonic game, but that was on the DS?
Interesting linguistic difference. I would’ve just said “get bombs” instead of “unlocking” them, yet I completely understand
Same. It’s like the one thing where I am a total boomer on
