Today, early polls opened for people who want to vote in our elections earlier than on 26th of this month.
We've been doing this since the Pandemic hit, and it's worked out well with fewer crowds and less lines on the actual day.
So, I took advantage of this. But the Queensland Electoral System online showed me to the Logan City Council instead of the community centre behind the council.
When I arrived, this gorgeous community library was inside the door... how wonderful is this? I chose two books from it on the way out.
Writer, poet, artist and prolific reader.... that's me.
I'm a collector of books, vinyls, coin purses and strange handbags... that's me too.
Otherwise, I love...
@digitalrn voting here in Australia is mandatory. Once you turn 18, you get contacted by the Australian Electorate Office and you're required to fill out the forms. Once you've done it, you must vote at every state and federal election or you'll get a fine. You also get to be on the jury service too... some find the latter awful, but I like it. I hate voting, but it's better than a fine.
