Well, I just went and voted about half an hour ago with my cousin (who is also on this site) in Auckland, NZ. I guess we are part of the first bunch of iranians to vote. Voting cards( if you wanna call it that) was quite primitive. You actually had to write down the name of the candidate which I'd say would create a lot of issues when counting.
Anyway aside from that I was very surprised to see so many conservative looking people there. I'm not saying they'll be voting for AN but they certainly would fit the stereotype. Women fully covered and men full grown beard. Overall though everyone from the embassy were quite friendly and nice.
There was an iranian guy outside protesting too. Kudos to him i guess he had every right to be there and exercise his free speech. Funny thing was I think the embassy guys called up the cops. Police came around and had a chat to him but they left him alone.
And the last thing, one of the guys from embassy was in serious need of hygene. Dirty and smelly.
Anyway good luck to the rest of you guys.
