خلفية ثقافية
Voting is seen as a private but proud act. The 'I Voted' sticker is a major cultural icon during election season. Voting is compulsory (required by law). This makes 'voting for' someone a universal experience for all adults. Polling stations are often in quirky places like pubs or caravans, adding a sense of community to the act of voting. Direct democracy means citizens 'vote for' or against specific laws many times a year, not just for people.
