I paid $3.50, but got free onions. Interested to hear what others paid.

I'm guessing you're not from Aus. Weird to think that democracy snags are a purely Australian thing... If I didn't eat a sausage after voting I don't know what I'd do with myself. Our democracy might as well collapse

As an American we get a sticker and get told to go back to work after we vote. No cake, no sausage, not even a bit of time off to do it.

Our elections are always on a Saturday from 9am to 6pm. We also always have a few polling stations open for two weeks before voting day so you can vote early if you can't make it on the official date.

We have to vote. We get a $100 fine if we don't.
