Mine had a half hour long queue because there was only one ECQ official and she wanted to have a chat with everyone. And no sausages! Underwhelming election. I hope the Legalise Cannabis guy gets a few votes. He got my #1.
Mine was running as quickly as it possibly could (nobody stopping to have a chat), but that wasn't very quick. They had 2 issuing officers for the local ward and 1 absentee ballot issuing officer. It took me about 45 minutes for me, and by the time I left the line was even longer than when I arrived. Just severely understaffed.
Which frustrates me so much. Because I put my expression of interest in to work the election myself, but I never got an offer, even with past experience doing 2 federal elections, 1 state election, and a referendum before.
Sounds like they expected everyone to early or postal vote!
