Today is Election Day!

Vote early and often! Polls are open from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM. Patria holds its election day on a weekend, like most of Europe, Japan, and even some of the Third World DINOs (Democracies in Name Only). It's a concept that has never even been thought of in the U.S., Canada or the U.K., where they constantly complain about poor voter turnout but won't even consider moving the election day from a weekday, when many people find it a pain in the ass to take time off to vote or their employers don't give them an hour or two off in order to cast a ballot.

Of course, the real problem with poor voter turnout in the U.S., Canada and U.K. is not so much weekday election days, but disgust with the dinosaur first-past-the-post electoral system that results in wasted votes (unless you are lucky enough to live in a riding or district where your vote may actually mean something). While they may never adopt some kind of proportional representation, surely it's not too much to ask for the three leading first-world democracies to hold elections on a Saturday or Sunday.
