European Elections Problem
There is a little problem. In Europe there are some elections. In the UK you can vote today. But there is some worry about voter turnout. Last time about 45% of people voted. That is taken to mean that 55% of UK people don't care about Europe.
Now the problem I have is: I haven't received any information about these elections. I don't know where to go or what to do. I don't even know what is being elected. I only know about it because a Spanish friend told me.
Is this anything to do with the low turnout that's expected?
What am I going to do? If you have the chance to vote you should use it - whether you believe in the process or not, you are at least increasing the chance that you will be happy with the result.
How many hours shall I spend on trying to locate this election?
**UPDATE** (the next day...)
I couldn't vote! It's really a shame. I was also working yesterday so I couldn't devote the whole day to this problem, but I tried the internet, I took my voter registration card out with me just in case, but there was no sign of any place to vote. So I didn't vote! It's rather a shame. One person doesn't make a difference on his own, but you still have to exercise your ability to vote. Now I wonder what it was that obstructed me this time?
