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.
