An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.
In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

Just a quick correction, you don't actually have to put anything in the ballot box. As long as your name has been crossed off by an electoral official, you can just walk out and you won't get fined. I've done it this way on multiple occasions and never got fined for it. YMMV of course.
Since 2020 my partner and I do postal votes and that's so much easier than wasting time on the weekend.
As someone who's worked at elections a few times before, please please don't do this. We're barely above minimum wage and receive an hour of online training. We don't know how to handle that situation. One voter, one cross off, one issued ballot, it's supposed to be. It'll make things very awkward at the end of the night when it comes to reconciling the ballots if the numbers don't add up.
Just take the ballot and put it in the box. What happens between then, I don't care.
