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

The picture seems to first have been used in 26th of September 2021.
It is used by LeMonde and NPR. It is probably from an election in Germany, but one year earlier than you stated. And two months earlier in the year, thus making the t-shirts make sense.

@UlrikNyman @melanieistefan ok. Temperature isn’t the point here. This is Canada: https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/politics/federal-election-2021/elections-canada-sorry-people-didn-t-vote-because-of-long-lineups-1.5594728?cache=goxayamgqtwsx
Elections Canada 'sorry' people didn't vote because of long lineups

Many older voters, parents with young children and Canadians with disabilities didn't vote because of long lineups at their voting sites, with Elections Canada apologizing for the wait but saying there was little else they could do in a pandemic.
