I think the yanks are having some sort of election, it usually is around Cup Day. They don't have compulsory voting like us, so it's a bit different attitudewise.

Today is election day, but this year is only local elections, nothing national. My district actually has nothing.

Sorry...local and statewide. I guess my state has nothing either.

Yep, we usually have an election the first or second Tuesday of every November. On the one hand it sucks that more of us don't vote, but on the other hand I'd rather that people who get a ballot and just pick whatever name sounds better not do that

Is Cup Day when the guvnas have a cuppa?

Nah, we have a public holiday for horse races. The Melbourne Cup. (not the American melbourne, the one pronounced "MELb'n" here in Oz).
