You guys still amaze me.

Down here, voter registration is compulsory, and completely free of political shennanigans. The bureaucratic side of the gubmint has occasional advertising drives to remind the kiddies they must sign up when they are 18, often done through schols. Political organisations don't get involved. There is no need.

Meanwhile, the census is conducted by the bureau of statistics. I've worked on it twice, all politically neutral, just straightforward paper pushing and number adding. Your bit of subcontracting census work out to politically active organisations sounds nutso to me.

Meh, your country, your decisions, but I still think you're wierd.

Carry on.
