TOOT Chalec

Can I remind my EUropean 🇪🇺 friends to please vote for the European Parliament 6-9 June? I know you are all reasonable people & your vote would be most welcome!

@bert_hubert no need to rub it in #brexit :(

@bert_hubert I’m actually vice chief for a local polling station :) so will vote for sure (I can’t forget to put in my one vote :) )

@jmovs NICE!

@jmovs @bert_hubert Oh hey, we're gonna be protocol writers (at a mail vote center) ^^

@tanith @jmovs NICE, thank you!

@jmovs @bert_hubert Berlin pays election helpers quite well, lol. I mean it's below minimum wage but it's still much more than the federal minimum for election helpers. I mean mostly doing't cause we thought't might be fun n interesting but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate being paid for't.

@tanith @jmovs weird, if you don't pay people for this you only get people rich or old enough to afford to work for free. Here you get a pretty good compensation for your time. We also vote during the working week, which makes it extra important.

@avron @bert_hubert @jmovs In person ones're open 8-18, mail ones process letters from 15-18 (tho were told should be there 14:30). After 18 both the in person ones n the mail ones start counting the ballots.

@avron @bert_hubert @jmovs The money we get's not "compensation" but "refreshment money" officially; i.e. officially it's intended for like, snacks n general expenses associated w't, rather than compensating for the work itself being done.

@avron it's from 8 until 6 I think on Sunday

@bert_hubert Already done.

@martinvermeer NICE!

@bert_hubert already voted last week.

@ascherbaum NICE!
