We have this in Belgium, too, and elections are held on Sunday so that more people are free than would be on a weekday. People who work election day can vote by proxy.

I love, love reading that Heather is read around the world. It makes me hopeful that we (the collective "we") can get through this horrific mess and come out the other end. Wiser, I hope.

Also it give the readers around the world a chance to read the replies and get a sense that not all American citizens go along with this nuttery, as I call it, we find ourselves in the midts of. Although I can't blame our neighbors for thinking what they think. I will leave it at that.

We must rise above the fray and not get down in the dirt, so to speak.

How very interesting. I wish we we had the same here in the U.S. Perhaps instead of holding issues up in the Congress or Senate, for partizan reasons, more would get done in a more Democratic fashion and maybe, just maybe this country would be less divisive.

I discovered this while on a trip to Belgium and the Netherlands in June of this year. So envious!

How about for America if you do not vote two elections in a row, you will lose citizenship and becomes a permanent resident.
