politics - Have you voted already (in Shanghai)?

It is too late is you have not done it yesterday, but you must have noted the election fever in the air as the Shanghainese could vote for their representatives. According to the Shanghai Daily ten million voters turned out to decide over 5,033 seats in different levels of government.
Well, the people in my office must have belonged to the other ten million that did not vote, or could not because they are no residents in Shanghai. We will get the results in two or three days time.
Micah Sittig translated the email that encouraged his fellow workers to do their civic duty. What I found odd is that on voting day you can still add names of candidates to your ballot paper. Now, that is a way to do your neighbor a favor.
