I'm voting as absentee.
Well hi there Angus! How nice to see you again! Yes, I will go vote today. :)
Such a great photo of one very special dog! We all love and miss you Angus.
I didn't vote. :o
What a baby doll, yes I voted.
What a handsome, handsome boy.
I didn't vote either :o
AWWW, Anna, with every thing that is going on with me I didn't even realize that it was Angus's calendar day and I also forgot to vote. I'm so sorry about that. I'm looking at his beautiful face right now. Such a great pic of your boy.
Glad you all stopped by to see my beautiful boy on his special day.
Of course we voted, with it being his day and all...how could we not:D
Loved the picture..............I voted. :)
I am proud to know that your precious boy and his little face shined on this big day!
go boy angus! :D
What a special Angus ad! ;) Yep, I voted and all my candidates / issues WON / PASSED!!! :D
What a nice way to be reminded to vote!! :)
I have his pic hanged up on my wall from the dog calender! Go Angus!
Oh Yes Anna, I did see this on my calendar ........... :D
Our voting day, for our state election is 25th November ...... so Angus is reminding me of OUR day too.
Unfortunately here, we HAVE to vote - it is illegal NOT to.
But Angus makes it alllllll better for me :D

Do the Voting Police drag you to the polls?
And then watch over your shoulder to be sure you mark the ballot?
Up Here we've been know to have a problem with folks practicing
"Vote early! ~ Vote Often!" :p
Phred,
When you move to Australia, you get stuff given to you to register to vote. You can of course NOT fill it in .......... but then they catch you when you get your license and say you are an Australian citizen.
I think they have this massive database that they cross reference!!
Not only do you have to vote for the government you want (so the WHOLE of Australia), but you have to vote for the State (Victoria), and you (I found this out the hard way), have to vote for your LOCAL council too.
I did not know that, - I was actually overseas. They tried to FINE me $150.00 for not voting. I said I posted my vote - and they lost it, so tough luck. Not paying ............ they let me off THIS ONCE they said ......
Quite ridiculous I think!
I do like your thoughts of the "voting Police dargging me to the poll booth" ...... Let them TRY I say .... :D
