US friends, take note. I went to vote in Berlin today and this was the line in front of the polling station. “But wait! There is no line!” Indeed. There is no line because there need not be one. Because it’s about how polling is organised. If you are standing in a line for hours in order to exercise your democratic rights, it’s because someone wants you to.#polling #democracy #righttovote

@melanieistefan In Ireland, you’re assigned a polling station and then a particular section of that station when you arrive. They’re normally in kids schools as they’re closed for the day. Voting is 7am to 10pm and I’ve had to wait a few minutes at most. That’s only if I go to vote after work
