I had to explain to a co-worker that they can vote for whatever they want and it's ok to leave some blank if they're unsure. She thought her entire ballot didn't count if she left some of the measures blank. So she never voted because "there's too many things to research".
Years ago I had to explain to my own mother, that registering for a party doesnt dictate your vote. She thought if she signed up as a Democrat she would only be able to vote for Democrats.
Well that is something. It's almost like they don't teach us how to vote, or organize, or be civil servants for a reason.
