I have voted in every election held since the 25th April 1975. I couldn’t vote before.

I would love to, but in "my country", which I have interpreted as where I live, it is not possible for a foreigner to vote. I'll get my passport soon and then it will be chop, chop!

It's an obligation here in my country.
The coming elections will be in April 2026.

So, our elections are not held in hish schools like the one I didn't vote in the last time, right across the street from our house. And my mom didn't vote when she had COVID. And the election comittee just typed in my personal details as if I'd voted for the right candidate.

Yes, since it's mandatory here.
However, whenever I don't fully trust or agree with either of the proposed candidates (we usually have half a dozen!), I nullify my vote by using fake ballots with candidates' memes available for free to print on the Internet.

This isn't sensitive information, as I'm not sharing any personal information.
Nullifying a vote isn't illegal, and half of the country does it; that is more than 50 million people, and voting down here is secret.
Therefore, I'm not as stressed to get such an oversensitive reaction about a simple voting poll. I'm sharing much more personal information on the paid surveys I do on my phone.
