    OK so it’s more or less the same as Germany, and just the wording that threw me off.

    How does the specific time slot work and what happens when you miss it and come later? That’s something we don’t have and personally I find it quite relaxing to just sleep in long (voting is on a sunday) and then casually stroll to the polling station whenever I feel like it.

      In my experience if you miss your timeslot you just show up whenever and queue. It’s not as if you’re forbidden from voting for it.
