one of the major disadvantages of living in a free, democratic country is that every now and again an election will try and ruin your Saturday. fear not! firstly, look for a polling place set up at a school. these usually have ample parking and more often than not will have some kind of sausage sizzle scenario. secondly, be aware of the pamphlet gauntlet. unless they are attractive there is no reason whatsoever to engage these people. do not make eye contact. Simply stride through with the arrogant air of a deluded fashion designer and you should be fine. in extreme cases i would suggest you simultaneously pretend to text someone or, for the more adventurous punter, random twitching and cursing also works very nicely. hopefully these handy hints will make your voting experience a quick and painless one, leaving you with more time for the making of more appropriate party-related decisions.
