For me it is the concept of registering to vote. I am citizen so I have the right to vote automatically and only thing I need to provide is some accepted ID.

    Many many things, but one I’ve not seen touched on much is how LONG the lead up is.

    Here, quite often they announce an election and then a few weeks later we have the election.

    It doesn’t really make any sense to drag it out, that’s more than enough time to learn about the candidates, the current state of the various parties and their manifestos, and time for debates and discussions and such before polling day.

    The idea that an election run up can go on for months and months and months feels silly/wasteful.
