Voter apathy!

**camouflage762** · 17-05-2011, 08:38

I am chatting to a bloke, and mention the election & voting & ask him if he is going to vote.

He tells me that he has moved from suburb A to suburb B and has not registered to vote in his new suburb (about 15-20km apart)

He ordinarily drives 30km to work every day anyway!

I can just hear apathy in his tone of voice when it comes to making the effort to go and vote on the day!

Sorry, mate, quite frankly I couldn't even be bothered to read your comment... ;-{>}

Hahaha! Just an aside here... I cant remember being frisked or passing through a metal detector last elections, but are the polling stations supposed to be "gun-free"? I intend on carrying like normal, but I just don't want to be searched or anything...

IIRC it is illegal to carry a weapon at an election point or rally, etc.

yeah I think it is, but I also don't recall any security measures apart from a few bored cops milling around their vehicles nearby. I'm in a similar situation where I moved recently, but I damn sure will be driving the 20 kms to go vote. remember you can sms your ID number to 32810 to find out where you are registered, or visit
