Hey David. Thanks for linking to my blogpiece.

Though I am under Hurricane Warning, if I have power tonight, I'll try to update the Referendum outcome, since I have access to the Brazilian TV channel, Globo.

As for the mandatory voting, man, Americans have NO idea how good you have it.

Not only is voting voluntary, but you don't even need to present IDs, if you're a return voter.

Brazil is not the only country where voting is mandatory either. That's the case with almost all of South America, and such a hallowed country in Europe as Belgium.

This was established LOOOONG before Brussels was the capital of Europe too.

Cheers,
Victoria
