Wasted my time and the people that were volunteering.

Where did you end up having to go?
If people were serious about increasing voter turnout, they should take steps to make voting easier. How many people work down town but live in a different ward? Why can't I vote during my lunch hour or coffee breaK?
Instead, I have to hustle my butt home after work and try to get to the nearest polling station before closing. Like Jolinar, I probably would have went to the wrong one too...
