  1. Another vote for AfD… Notice the strategic pinky placement!

  2. Why? In Finland you just get a blank piece of paper and you write a number matching the person.

  3. Good thing that in Spain every party has it’s own ballot.

  4. I honest-to-god thought that taking a picture like that during the ballot was illegal. Kinda stupid to think of me now that I think about it.

  5. So many different parties. Cool.

    It reminds me of the early 90s Poland when the new wave of democracy created a lot of parties.
    The PPPP was my personal favorite – Polska Partia Przyjaciół Piwa (Polish Party of the Friends of Beer).

    I’d vote for them every time had they still existed.

  6. Completely unrelated, but anti-corruption watchdog probably is the most baller job title I’ve seen on recent ballot papers (last candidate Grüne)

  7. Hey, da steht du sollst keine Fotos in der Wahlkabine machen.

  8. Single cross to make, super quick and comfortable.

  9. In France we had an A4 paper for each and every candidates. Like 20 A4 fucking sheets, only to fold one in 6 to get it to fit in the tiny envelope provided and put the rest in the bin.

    Absolutely scandalous to waste this much paper. I don’t know how decided this, and who to be mad at.

    If someone knows, feel free to enlighten me.

  10. Isn’t it illegal to share any records of the voting process?

  11. I wish we had a system like that, honestly. Here you have to take an A4 format paper sheet corresponding to the party you want to vote to, fold it yourself (not pre-folded like yours) and hope you don’t accidentally slightly tear it out as you do so or your vote doesn’t count. It’s such a weird system i’m wondering if i really did vote properly today. Checking a box would be so much simpler….

  12. Even funnier

    In multiple German cities there are local votes as well

    In Hamburg your Ballot paper is 40 Din A4 pages long and you get 2×5 votes that you can give either a party list directly or to whichever person you want

  13. Good thing in Bulgaria, we have the option for machine voting.

    The paper prints from the machine voting is the size of a receipt. Literally.

  14. You guys don’t do PR, right?

    I thought mine was bad on Friday. It was only 23. We do PR, though, so the count takes forever.

  15. The ballot paper for my constituency was 73 cm long and we had another almost as long for local council elections. It didn’t take many papers to make the ballot box seem full!

  16. that may be bettre than France , where we have too a stupid amount of lists (38) while the thresold to get elected is 5% , but not all lists had papers in the polling station…

  17. I see we Dutch are not the only one with big ass ballot papers.

  18. Didn’t see the phones not allowed sign in the entrance?

  19. I just heard that someone made a selfie with a filled in ballot and shared it in the internet and got trouble.

    Then the election is not a secret anymore.

  20. You have seen nothing yet. Dutch ballot papers have been printed in A1 format for the last decade. During the last General Elections, we had 26 parties and 1,126 candidates to choose from (our parliament holds 150 seats btw).

  21. Paper for the Paper God!
    PAPER FOR THE PAPER GOD!
    P A P E R F O R T H E P A P E R G O D !!! BLAGLAHGLAH!

  22. You voted 4? Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.

    /s

  23. It looks like these lists are only up to ten candidates. Can someone explain why the list is so short? Germany has 96 seats to allocate.
