    Has the polling period of the election been announced? I have to drive 200 miles in order to vote and need to know what is the latest time that I can cast my vote.

    Yep have my card here too, and it is 7.30 to 22.30. Nice of them to consider the commuters eh :rolleyes:

    Personally I believe we should now run the election over Saturday and Sunday to get the maximum turnout possible as happens in a lot of the countries on the continent.
