I just voted for opportunity.

I hope everyone got their registration in and that you vote.

    And I think there’s an argument that we do!

    The same page I linked says:

    We recommend you don’t use profile pictures, filters, or frames that support a candidate or party, to avoid the risk of committing an offence if you post using the picture or frame on election day. Photos, filters and frames saying you’ve voted or which encourage others to vote are fine.

    I feel like saying who you voted for could fit into the same sort of offence if you caught the enforcer (Police?) on a bad day.

      From the elections website

      Election advertising does not have to be removed from social media as long as:

      • it was published before election day
      • it’s only made available to people who voluntarily access it, and
      • no advertisements promoting the page or site are published on election day
      • you don’t repost the material on election day, even if the information was posted before election day.

      So what I posted looks fine; as long as I don’t repost or link to it on election day

        I wonder how this works if we are still actively discussing this on election day; does that count as “reposting/linking”?

          I would guess it’s fine so long as the new content being added doesn’t endorse anyone. I don’t see it as any different to replying to an older facebook post.
