On my way to #VoteForEurope and to #VoteAgainstFascism.
Well. A small setback. Even though I have the official paperwork with me, they couldn’t find me in their voter lists. So they have to make a few calls to verify and I couldn’t vote yet. So next try in 10 minutes.
Gives me an opportunity to observe the election here in my #Munich district. Very smooth organisation. Lots of young people voting.
Update: a bit of confusion. I am officially registered and I am eligible to vote but somehow my name wasn’t added to the printed voters list so they cannot cross me off as present. They are trying to find out how to solve this.
I met an Austrian voter who could vote without problems, so I guess I am a special case. I consider that to be an honour :)
All solved. I casted my #VoteForEurope and with that my #VoteAgainstFascism. My thanks go to the local team who handled this little oopsie very professional and stayed very friendly the whole time, making sure I could vote.
Turned out it was a bit like https://hachyderm.io/@rabc/112586322659611808 I was on the additional list of late registrations for some reason and it took them some time to find out. But they found me and I got a bit of insight on how complex voting is behind the scenes. My sincere thanks to all the volunteers who make it possible.

@[email protected] As a non-national, my name is always in another list that is forgotten tucked inside other bunch of papers. I always have to wait until they figure it out and find the another list 🤷♂️
Jeroen Wiert Pluimers@jwildeboer glad everything worked out well.
Michael@jwildeboer This is just such a nice sign of voting rights being taken seriously.
Lukas Grossar@jwildeboer Haven't voted in person since I moved to Switzerland. I just had to renew my automatic delivery of voting paper after already being here for 10 years.
always tired (moved to chaos)@jwildeboer Thanks for you being persistent and patient enough so you could cast your vote against fascism.
@jwildeboer Great that it worked out after all. But do we know the reason for this or is it still a mystery?
Bina Femaroll@jwildeboer I keep my fingers crossed!
Chris. R. 🎧🎼☕🍍@jwildeboer good luck!
