Too poorly to vote

I'm stuck in bed having just had a termination. Is there anything I can do to or is my vote wasted now?

Honestly, looking after yourself is your priority today.

There will be other elections. You mustn’t feel bad about not voting.

Proxy? (Don't know the rules on that.)

Agree that you should take care of yourself. However if you feel really strongly, you may be able to get an emergency proxy vote.

You can get an emergency proxy vote.

You have until 10pm OP. See how the day goes.

I just have major guilt not voting as a woman! Thank you for your kind words MNers. I will look into emergency proxy but I think it may be more hassle than my brain can manage before 5pm (deadline).

Isn't it 10pm? Hope you feel better soon

@mooncloud1 the deadline to vote is 10pm but the deadline to arrange an emergency proxy is 5pm (and they then have until 10pm to vote for you).

Hope you feel better soon OP.

Hope you rally soon.
You have until 10pm, can someone drive you? Ultimately though, take care of yourself, that’s more important even today. 💐
