minus-squareNaibofTabrlinkfedilinkEnglish7•5 months agoYou’re right, and many will choose to work holidays in order to make extra money, because minimum wage isn’t really enough to support anyone. Still, the government should be doing everything in its power to make voting easy, accessible and penalty-free.

In most of the democracies, voting day is on Sunday.
