I had a lovely time voting this past Wednesday, thanks for asking. Wore a whole outfit and everything: sensible shoes for the walk, a hat because this is Dar in November.

Enjoyed the banter as I looked for my name on the registration lists — it was missing. Greeted the officer who registered me last month, saw my name in the book, voted.
