Submit Photos of Your Country's Political Process
Here in the United States, all we've heard about lately is the 2008 presidential elections.
Unfortunately, we don't hear much about how politics work in other countries. We know a lot of you Photojojoids are from different countries. Tell us how it works where you live!
Where do you go to vote?
Do you have voter registration cards?
What do campaign posters look like where you live?
We want to see pictures!
Just post your photo on this thread, tell us where you're from and what your photo represents.
Thanks everybody!
Arigato! Danke! Merci! Obrigado! Xie xie! Kiitos! Cheers!
p.s. We're all going to join hands later and sing a few rounds of "It's a Small World After All". Feel free to join in.
p.p.s. Just to keep things friendly, let's not get into the whole McCain vs. Obama thing. Non-US politics only, okay?

Now if only you guys had posted this like a week and a half ago during the big Canadian federal election...............
Sigh. I really wish the US and its otherwise brilliant photography sites knew we existed next door.

My friends kept flipping back and forth between the US vice pres debate and the Canadian PM debate since they were happening at the same time =P

Hi! Politics in the Philippines is a topic in itself. My friends still think I'm crazy to go out on election day and shoot at the local polling stations. It's not as peaceful as everyone would like. Nooooope. Not as peaceful as anyone would like...
The freedom to vote is everyone's concern and business... Even the Catholic church is involved. They don't tell you who to vote (ummm... kinda), they just help you find your name, where you're supposed to vote in your area and if you've been deleted coz people think you're dead. Yup! Living people are presumed dead and Dead people actually vote. Crazy crazy crazy election time.
Don't get me wrong. As crazy as it is here, there is no place like HOME.
In case I haven't done this post correctly the photos may be viewed on http://ratigger76.multiply.com/photos/album/95#

We have electoral districts called ridings. Each party (we have four "national" parties - the Conservatives, the Liberals, the NDP, and the Greens - and several regional and smaller parties, such as the Bloc Quebecois (they only run in Quebec), the Marijuana Party, or the Communist Party) has a nomination meeting in their riding where candidates are nominated and voted on to determine who will run for that party in their riding. This usually only takes an evening to sort out.
This photo is from our local NDP nomination meeting, before everything started. Two girls were playing and running around, and I couldn't resist the snapshot of the one of them starring intently at the screen.

I live in a suburb of Munich, Germany. I made a little video (not very special, just let the camera roll) of a recent election for our free state of Bavaria. Every grown-up citizen (that is everyone above the age of 18) gets sent an election notification by mail automatically (no registration and other motivation obstacles), then turns up on election day with this notification and his passport or ID. A driving license is not an ID, by the way, our ID is kind of a national passport, which is valid in all of the EU. Then, you just put your X where you like it.
If you decide to watch the video, the word "Muster" can be seen on some election papers on display. It means "Sample". More info also on the video's YouTube site:
