Being Chinese I know several people that vote this way and live their lives in a similar manner. So it does happen.
That being said, this result is pretty much the reason I only vote in advanced polls when I know I will be out of town on election day.
There is a reason election campaigns have to be at least 5 weeks. This gives the electorate plenty of time to learn what each candidate is offering.
It's also why I have trouble respecting anyone that states: "I always vote for ______" or "I didn't have enough information on who was running".
