I had the morning off work (as I worked 8:30 to 8pm Thursday), so I went to the local Australian Electoral Commission office and voted.
Nobody I talked to today believed that it was possible to vote early. Well, I only found out through the AEC website.
I wish all candidates good luck tomorrow.
(I think Labor will win by a large margin. I will be represented in the figures for swing).
As I was driving home tonight I got really excited about the election process, and for some reason quite proud of my vote. Voting is mandatory here. Last election, I had a lot of cognitive dissonance regarding my vote; this time I am pleased with the way things went.
