Ms Beazley said she would like to consult on introducing four-year full spill elections to replace the current two-year half spill model to address voter fatigue and “enliven the process”.

    I normally vote. This time, I forgot.

    We get one letter in the mail, and that’s it. The occasional candidate poster in the suburb.

    Yes, it’s on me for not putting it in my calendar. But at the same time - I feel like there needs to be more advertising or something to prompt us.

      Only just remembered in time myself. We had a surprising amount of corflutes about the place. One candidate even sent round a leaflet, full colour, glossy paper, well designed, impressive material for a local election.

      WAEC could do more about the vote, maybe the switch proposed makes WAEC election promotion a more manageable prospect, one campaign every four years, instead of two.
