There's probably some legitimate reasons for some people not voting early but I really don't know why you wouldn't try to vote before election day.

For my wife and I it was because it's our first time being eligible to vote and we wanted to do it on the official day.

I didn't get a sticker though so I'm bummed

Chris Parker headed a "Make your own 'I voted!' sticker" social media campaign, I made one out of some supplies from the office and wore it all day.

Gonna make a shirt that says

I VOTED
but all I got
was the satisfaction
of participating in our
fair and open elections
which is cool I guess
but really a sweet sticker
would have been nice too.

NZ likes to think it's progressive due to being first in the world for women's suffrage, but if that had to voted on with today's population it would never pass.

we weren't even first in the world for women's suffrage. we were the first self-governing territory to do it. individual states in the us and other non-autonomous british territories had already done it by the time we did.
