Local elections will be happening for most of us (in the UK) in May and photo ID is now required to vote 🤦🏻‍♂️

👉 Make sure that your driving licence, passport, or whichever form of ID you intend to use, will be valid through May 2023.

👉 If you don't have any ID deemed "acceptable", then you can register for a free Voter Authority Certificate which will do the job: https://electoralcommission.org.uk/voterID

2) Automatic #voterRegistration

"Challenger Shawn Fain is narrowly leading United Auto Workers (UAW) President Ray Curry in a runoff election for leadership of the powerful union, as Curry's campaign said it had filed a protest over issues including undelivered ballots.

"Late Friday, court-appointed monitor Neil Barofsky said in the presidential race Fain has received 69,386 votes and Curry has 68,881 votes – a difference of 505 votes - but with 600 unresolved challenged ballots.

"The protest filed by Curry's campaign raised numerous issues including the fact that tens of thousands of ballots were returned as undeliverable and urged the monitor to 'immediately delay the announcement of a final result and immediately investigate these questions in a transparent process.'

"Labor contracts with Detroit's Big Three automakers expire in September. The UAW is set to hold a special convention on collective bargaining starting March 27 in Detroit.

"The UAW won a victory in December, when workers at an Ohio General Motors (GM.N)-LG Energy (373220.KS) battery cell factory voted to join the union."

Voters in Montenegro cast ballots today in a presidential election marred by political turmoil and uncertainty over whether the tiny Balkan NATO member state will go ahead with its bid to join the EU or seek to improve ties with Serbia and Russia.

Analysts predict that the election will produce no clear winner and that incumbent Milo Đukanović will face one of several challengers in a runoff election.

Upcoming presidential elections in Montenegro are set to be a make-or-break moment for the country's political future.

The country is split between a bloc that supports the country's pro-European stance and another that leans toward Russia. This has led to frequent protests in past years.

Montenegro declared independence from Serbia in 2006 but struggles to shake off Serbia's attempts to influence its politics.

The Boer-Burger Beweging (BBB), or Farmer-Citizen Movement, is projected to win 16 or 17 seats in the 75-seat Dutch upper house of national parliament.

Farmers have been demonstrating against plans to cut nitrogen emissions by slashing livestock numbers and closing farms.

What did our PM Rutte just do? I read on the NOS site, that he stated at the Goedemorgen Nederland show, that the Dutch fascist parties PVV and FVD aren't more right-wing than his own party VVD.

I guess he felt inspired by his talk to Meloni.
So... did he just openly proclaim the VVD and himself to be fascist?

As opposed to what's going on in Republican states, New Mexico is expanding voting rights. When signed by the governor, a new law will immediately restore the right to vote to anyone on probation or parole -- about 11,000 people.

Besides making Election Day a state holiday, the new law provides voters on Native land with language translation at the polls (if needed) and polling places that are closer to where they live.

EKRE leader: I do not trust e-vote result
EKRE leader Martin Helme has said that he does not trust the e-vote result, and wants a recount.

EKRE had led Reform early on in the paper vote count, albeit when only a small proportion of the total vote had been taken into account – including those in some districts where the party traditionally performs well.

The e-vote result gave a seismic shift towards Reform, however, which has a projected 38 seats (up four from the last election) to EKRE’s 17 (down two), while Eesti 200 is on course for around 14 seats.

EKRE  had long made the claim that e-voting was flawed and should not be trusted, but had in more recent months been more amenable to the practice, going on its public pronouncements.

The vote counts from seven more, mostly quite populous districts are still to come in, however...

#Finnish #grammar foils pro-#Russia #trolls | #News | #YleUutiset

"As #Finland moves ever closer to joining #Nato, pro-Russia trolls have been trying to turn Finnish public opinion against the alliance, especially in advance of the upcoming parliamentary #elections.
...
However, some of the trolling attempts have led to notable failures, especially when faced with a particularly worthy adversary: Finnish grammar.
One sentence, appearing to come from a Finnish user, has been widely repeated on social media and reads 'Nato ei voi tallentaa Suomea'. The phrase seems to have been translated via an online translator, and appears to be an attempt to write 'Nato cannot save Finland.'

@GottaLaff This story should be read and reread and posted and reposted. The GOP and its affiliates are traitorous and attempting to dismantle our democracy.

Czech Republic presidential elections 2023 are over. At home the winner got ~60% of the votes. Abroad it was ~95%. And for n-th time there is something about the way expats tend to vote that I can't explain, but deeply agree with.
Does this happen also in your country?

@democracydocket @kevinjelliott Nick Stephanopoulos wrote this in August 2022. I wonder how he might revise it having heard the oral argument. I came away from the oral argument under the impression that Moore would be decided on narrower grounds based on whether the Court thought the decision below could be fairly read as judicial review rather than legislating from the bench, perhaps adopting Rehnquist's standard in his Bush v. Gore concurrence. #law #elections #scotus #democracy #nc

“…holding local #elections in the same year as state or federal races boosted participation rates in other U.S. cities by as much as 460%.” https://gothamist.com/news/report-ny-can-boost-voter-turnout-with-this-single-change

Watch two big #elections to unfold on April 4th. Democrats are optimistic they can flip the #Wisconsin State Supreme Court and two Democratic hopefuls will go toe-to-toe in a runoff election to become the next Mayor of #Chicago.
