One of our lady pose has never voted (which is a shame!) but we've got plans to make sure she goes this year. This may mean that I head to the advanced polls on my own, but I'm not overly concerned about it. There's a band from GC going, but that's while I have to be furiously working on my paper.. so I might go later.
