Lol, 53 minutes till the polls open and I'm still awake. I need to get some sleep
They open only at 8 AM? Seems quite late.
No idea if it's late compared to most other countries but here it's been historically from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Same as here, then.
Most people make the mistake of thinking most other countries do much the same as their own. I have, too, in the past. The truth is that variation on the issue is bewildering the world over. Also regarding postal/early voting etc.
I still think the former Italian custom of opening polls all weekend was right and proper.
