In Australia we have compulsory voting. The independent body that runs elections says there isn't a problem here. The instances of multiple voting is not significant. Mainly confusion by old people. Eg voted at the nursing home earlier, then family took them to voting booth later.

The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting a heatwave across parts of NSW over the coming days, with temperatures expected to reach the high 30s and nudging almost 40 in some areas.
These conditions will lead to increased fire danger, and on Wednesday, dry north-westerly winds combined with high temperatures may see Extreme fire danger in some areas.
Tonight is a great time to talk about your bush fire plan. Ask yourself: • When will you leave if a fire threatens? • Where will you go? • What will you take?
Having a plan and discussing it with your family now can make all the difference.
@glc A little known tip that many pro mountain bikers use.
After oiling your chain, add a layer of gravy.
Not only will it keep the chain cleaner, but if you have a bad accident and are stuck on the trail for a while waiting rescue, you can suck on the chain and get all your regular nutrients to keep you alive. Better than carry a bottle of soylent green.
Also a gravy chain makes a good convenient quick trail snack.
