Best time of day to vote

Now. No line and a sausage sizzle.

A sausage sizzle at a polling station! How typically Australian. :-)
We don't get anything like that in the UK, but then voting is not compulsory. Maybe if they gave out sausages the turn out would be better! :-)

Well there's a huge line to vote at our local school - luckily I voted earlier but just popped over to get my sausage sizzle and some cake from the tuck shop - pretty convenient living right across the road!

I went at a really busy time (lunchtime) to make sure i got a sausage! Didn't mind standing in line...it added to the atmosphere.

We went just before lunch. There was a line but it went pretty quickly. DD slept through it all. We tried to explain voting to a 3yo while we waited.

Got a sausage. Walked around the school showing DS as he will go there in 2 years.

We went about 8:30am and there was no line. The keeners who were there at 8am had already voted and the rest of the world was still getting up. There was a constant trickle of people but not enough to create much of a line and our polling station was next to the local market so it was probably busier than most in the morning.

I went at 2pm and there was a massive line and no parking. So I went to a nearby booth and it was pretty much empty 😊

I could only see half of this when scrolling through the latest posts and I thought for a minute your went to a nearby bottle-o. Now why didn't I think of that?

We went at 5pm and queue was 20min

They even offer us to jump the queue because of our kids (1 and 3yo) which didn't seem fair so we queued 😁

Best time of day to vote
