I completely agree with Marvin Ernst that everyone should get out and vote
tomorrow.
However -
In England, a couple of weeks before an election, every registered voter is
sent a postcard telling them:
When the election is to take place
Where their polling station is
When it is open
I have been given none of this information - it is up to me, either to find
out for myself, or not to bother to vote (like a lot of people)!
What does the Election Commission do? If they want people to vote, they
should at least remind people that there is an election, and provide the
necessary information to do so, together with a bit of encouragement!
