EasyVote cards and packs were delivered to voters today. Because of this, I like to think that I’m “a household name”.

Three years ago, I was also an electorate candidate for Mana, and on the (Libertarianz) party list. Mid-afternoon, I strolled along to my nearest polling booth to vote for myself. At a trestle table inside St. Barnabas Church hall sat two or three officials with electoral rolls, rulers and pens. I approached and gave my details. The woman I was speaking to drew a line through my name and gave me my ballot papers.

“Richard Goode,” I said. “Recognise the name?”

“No.”
