    Default Voting - rant

    Rant mode ON

    So, collecting my senate paper.
    Official says 'number 1 to 6 above the line or 1-12 below.

    I say, can I only go to 6
    Official says, yes, that's correct.
    I say, I don't think that is right
    She checks with neighbour. Yes, that's right, must stop at 6
    I ask for booth leader.

    He says, well you can go past 6 if you want, but we stop counting at 6.


    I say that's not been published.
    Eventually he admits that it's the booth count that stops, and he has no idea what happens later only that it takes a long time.

    I doubt it will affect the election outcome but if nothing else I think there is a heavy obligation on the officials to get it right.

    I dislike voting.
    It only encourages them.

    I would have been very happy stopping before 6 if that was allowed.

    I don't rely on the booth staff for information, I get all the info I need from the AEC website before I leave the house.
