Thanks to 2oceansvibe I finally found some photos of expats voting abroad in London:

Here’s the text that accompanied the photos:

Dear Seth,

I’m sure you’ll get a few of these today but here are a couple of pics of voters queuing up outside South Africa House in London this morning for the first ever overseas vote in the SA elections. A historic moment.

I took the photo at 8.55pm just after casting my vote. The voting station opened at 7am – I arrived at 7.10am and just over 1h30m later cast my vote. Hopefully it will make a difference!

Cheers

Johan

I echo Seth’s response: Well done to all expats who are making the effort to vote. Good on you.

UPDATE:

More photographs can be seen over at Ideate.co.za. Great to see more images coming through and the masses of queues at the voting polls.

Also – in the comments of that post – my brilliant (though I say it myself) five year/one vote plan for expat voting.
