In Cyprus for some reason the press calls voting “the people’s holy right,” and when someone has voted they say, “they have chosen to initiate their holy right,” and whenever the votes are counted and the result is announced the elected president gives a speech in a place, usually GSP stadium. It’s also a very common stereotype, for some reason, that the poor don’t vote and the rich do, so it’s very hard for the left to win.

In Oregon our new tradition is vote by mail. Most people in the U.S. seem to assume it's a really bad and insecure system only used for absentee voters, but over here in Oregon and some of Washington we vote exclusively by mail. I find that by voting at home, you can actually look up information on some smaller candidates you'd otherwise be left in the dark over, discuss with friends/family, and do it whenever wherever. We also have some of the highest voter turnouts in the U.S. and insanely low voter fraud because of the paper trail ballots leave by mail. Oh and not to mention it's insanely cheaper than any polling place.

Ireland has nuns at the polling station, a tradition that is far older than dogs at the polling station, cos it stretches back to at least the 60s. Ireland is also unusual in that it is probably one of the only countries where prominent politicians from another country (kinda sorta not really its up for contention) will actively campaign in: e.g. the Deputy Minister of Northern Ireland Michelle O'Neill campaigned for Sinn Féin in the Republic, Fianna Fáil (a party in the Republic) TDs campaigning for the northern Social Democratic and Labour Party

Within 3 minutes, the election is over, they count the ballots, and release the results by 12:10 AM -- just in time to make the morning newspapers on Election Day. Those townsfolk have done this for decades.

A civic tradition we have in Ireland (I could be corrected on this on whether or not it is on JJ) is the #HomeToVote; which is because so many Irish people live outside of the country and it is not possible to vote if you’re not physically in the country many people will make the trip back home to just vote on key issues. The 8th referendum on the constitutional ban on Abortion had people travelling from places like Hanoi and Tokyo to vote on it. We also have the infamous election songs by rural candidates which is starting to become a brand new thing.

I love the #HomeToVote you have in Ireland. But it seems strange to me as an Australian. Because we have compulsory voting, the Australian Electoral Commission sets up voting centres all over the world. I’ve voted in Dehli. Fun fact, we have a political satirical show called the Chaser here. In one election about 15 years ago, they went to Guantanamo Bay to deliver ballots to two Australians who were imprisoned there in the early days of the war on terror. Since they hadn’t been charged with anything, they were not only legally able to vote, but required to. The Electoral Commission had to recognise this and the two men were sent ballot papers after some negotiation with the US government.

Where I lived during the 2016 Presidential Election, it was common that the sticker you got was the color of the Party you voted for, and then you give them to your children the day after the election, so everyone at school had Red "I Voted!" Stickers the next day. I had a yellow one (my parents voted for Gary Johnson), and there were like 3 kids with blue stickers. Very Solid Republican county.

In Austria there is this (not very unique) tradition that every party hosts an election party where they more or less just watch the reporting of the national news channel and cheer or look sad if they have made wins or losses. Also the national news usually interviews the main politicians of the respective parties at the election parties. This creates this weird paradox where the people at the party watch the news while the news mostly shows stuff from there. Also a little bit off topic: the Austrian far-right politicans (nearly 100% white men over their 40s mind you) used to release songs (mostly raps) as ads for their party.

It´s nearly the same in Germany - with the difference, that in Germany the most important Politicians since a couple of years usually don´t join the Election Parties of their Parties any longer or only in late night, so that the news can only report interviews with second- and third-range politicians or some political scientists from universities who usually give than statements like: "We must wait and see how the results may change during the evening." "We must wait and see what the Party Committees will decide." All in all something very boring and nobody with buttons or rosettes or sausages or dogs or stuff like this. But the reason of this is obvious: In Germany like in Austria we´ve no direct personal election as in the Anglo-Saxon States or as around the French Presidential elections. You know mostly after the first results were in short after 6 pm how the new Parliament is politically mixed up - and what Government you will get and who will become Chief of the Government, this decisions will be made in long coalition talks, who are lasting often for months. And it opposite to the UK the question, if the candidate from the CDU or the candidate from the SPD or the candidate from the Greens has conquered the seat of the election district of Osnabrück is only very interesting for this special three politicians itself and not a political question from a greater political interest. So German (and Austrian) democratic elections are very different from Media hypes if Joe or Bernie are making the Race in the Democratic Party or if Donald The Greatest will make a second term as President of the Universe (in Austria you´ve at least direct Presidential Elections, in Germany the President is elected by a special political entity, the "Bundesversammlung", and political power is in both countries embodied in the Chancellor, not in the President).

Japan has a tradition of campaign flatbed trucks driving around with ads on the back and loud speaker with the candidate's message. The US' county fair visit by candidates are a major thing. The opposite of that dinner with rich people, you eat unhealthy fair food to relate to the regular folks. The US also have an election tradition of closing down places that voters can legally get ID cards that let them vote in high minorities and poor counties. Hong Kong has a tradition of retroactively disqualifying just enough winning candidates after they've won, sworn into office, started working, and demanding a refund of allotted office decoration funds so the pro-establishment will always maintain a majority.
