My electorate has all independents. ie they are all scared as shit to align with any party.

Also, they set up a 'group' so they get to have an above the line vote. Every one of these has one male and one female.

The information available about most of these candidates is feeble.

It's fucking embarrassing.

I got my democracy sausage and bacon & egg sanga.

Pretty good value. Snag + onions on 2 pieces of bread (and choice of sauces) was $3.50, and bacon & egg on 2 pieces of bread (choice of sauces) was $4. They didn't skimp on the bacon either 😋

Oh yeah, and I voted while I was out getting my food 😁

Reminder: no out-of-area ('absent') votes in this election.

Council elections may not the be most exciting I find them much more interesting, because while my vote is still statistically negligible, it's much more powerful than in a state or federal election. So less popular choices have a higher chance of competing.

Unfortunately* it feels like most of my local candidates have almost identical policies, so my second and third preferences might as well be a coin flip. At least I know who's going last.

Do they have demosages (forgive me) for these elections on polling day? It's the only time I ever eat a sausage sandwich these days. Don't wanna miss out.

I'm gonna cop a fine for being overseas the past few weeks. oh well
