Admin’s Note

The upper house elections are approaching. It’s really important to thoroughly check the candidates and party manifestos before casting your vote. I’m particularly curious about how voter turnout will be affected. As noted in the logs, the strong performance of early voting might indicate a growing interest in the elections. Let’s all prepare well and make sure our opinions are represented when we vote.
