I've got to admit, although some of you differ wildly on issues from me, I'll be smiling when I hear that a VV member gets elected. Hat's off to the candidates who participated here on these forums; it has been awesome to be able to interact with you personally. I hope that no matter which way the election goes tomorrow you'll continue to be an active part of this strange little online community.

About a one person wait at each of four registration tables.
Every single person was over fifty, most looked over sixty-five.
Perhaps the young people are still sleeping in.

Just as an aside, there are now over 75 people viewing this section as I write this. Cool.

Will post when back from polling at Hillcrest School.
As mentioned by Mike - there are an amazing amount of 'lurkers' in the VV election section.

I did not get a voter registration card for Saanich (or do they actually issue those?!)
No, just a card giving the voting places.

No, just a card giving the voting places.
We did not get a card with polling locations (none of our neighbours got one either). Hillcrest school said they were slow - only about 200 voters by Noon.
Saanich Civil League had a number of people on the corner of Shelbourne and McKenzie with signs to get out the vote, and handing out flyers of polling locations. There are also some election sign pics here, to satisfy Mike's request for some images...

For those staying glued to their computers, perhaps we should create a new "2008 Election Night Results" thread where everyone can discuss the numbers as they come in, and what various media outlets are reporting.

City Hall Antechamber is open tonight from 7:30 as Election Central. Lotsa gossip, media of all stripes, and the chance to wave at friends when television pundits pontificating.

Actually open as of 7pm tonight, to anyone who wants to attend.
I voted on Monday during advance polling, so have been wearing my I Voted sticker all week!

Hey look it's me!
I wanted to hand out brochures but I ended up standing on a corner with a sign!
Oh well, there was much better response than I expected, with people in their cars asking where to vote as they drove by.
