Democracy!

PINs are being sent out, slowly but surely.

I just voted from the comfort of my office!

It's very exciting. Keep checking your email, and let us know when you've voted!
Did you like voting online, or do you miss filling out your ballot in the UCU?

What She Said!

Hot DAMN, Candidates!

I know you have to make sure we all know how much you CARE about our votes, but I am officially PULLING OUT of all of your facebook groups. It is overwhelming and really obnoxious to consider cleaning the eff out of my inbox. Just go do some class presentations already!

BOOM! *head asplode.

Dear Candidates

I don't like getting emails from you in my inbox, especially when I haven't given you my email address.

This makes me think you are spying on me. It creeps me out. You will probably lose my vote by doing this.

So, candidates, if I'm going to vote for you, I've probably already looked at your platform. I've probably joined your facebook group. I've probably seen your posters on campus.

SO STOP SPAMMING ME! Stay the hell out of my email!

Mystery of the Missing PINs

I have solved the mystery of the missing PINS. And by solved, I mean emailed the elections peeps and asked them what was up. Super detective? I think SO!

It turns out that they are sending the emails out in shifts; one assumes this is to prevent the crash of the e-voting universe.

The advice I was given: if you do not have your PIN by noonish, contact the helpdesk through the evote link on the iwillvote.ca website.

I hope that clears things up for some of you!

UPDATE: Wassim posted this in the comments of another post, but I want to make sure it is obvious:

"As you know, we decided to send two disctinct emails: French and English. We sent out the French emails first and we are now about to send the English ones. They were all sent at the same time, but there seems to be a traffic jam. The University, Everyonecounts and the Elections Bureau is on it."

Boom De Yada!

We have just crossed the very sexy threshold of 1000 visits! You made our little blogger hearts skip some beats, dear readers! Thanks for the patronage (they are supposed to be us. duh, right?) and happy voting!!!

It's here: The Voting Days.

Also, End of Days? I spose we shall see on Thursday. 

So, the candidates are out and about bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning! I have already spotted Seamus and Mel Book, and it s only 8:46am. 

*aside: As often as it happens, I can still never wrap my head around the Presidential Candidate Wolfe's cancer-stick addiction. Someone so socially aware might consider cluing in to this ridiculously prevalent health issue. I am sure this dead horse has been beaten to a pulp, but I cannot help it - he was smoking when I spotted him.

ANYWAY. Have you voted yet? Apparently most of us could have as of 6am, but this blogger has yet to get her PIN. From what s humming along the interweb tubes, I have gathered that I am not alone. We shall see - do not fail us now, hard-won and theoretically convenient e-voting or you will be shelved for years.

I would encourage you to go and vote right now, but I know I am waiting for Thursday, so that would make me a pile of hypocrite - it is in the final hours that true character is revealed, so keep your eyes peeled, discerning populace, and stay tuned!
