- SJMG 1y agoTaiwan also has a very efficient and transparent process.
- philips 1y agoHow many items are on these ballots? Due to the distributed nature of US governance my ballots easily have 20-30 items each election. It is quite different than countries that hand vote.
- mschuster91 1y agoEven in Germany, the turnaround for our largest elections (local governments) where the paper is > 1 m² in size is less than 24 hours.

- mschuster91 1y agoWell over 200 iirc. But most people just vote for the large list and do not use vote splitting ("Kumulieren und Panaschieren"), so the impact of these options isn't that much - the problem more is handling these giant sheets of paper.
