Rare editorial

Here's an intro you won't see every day on the editorial page:

What a week.
Not only are we in the throes of shearing and election time [...]

That from page two of the November 4th Penguin News (Falkland Islands). On page 15 there are lengthy procedures regarding the elections, undersigned by an elections official. In the Falklands, there is only one place to vote in town, but multiple other polling stations that travel by air and Land Rover to reach voters in the countryside:

Whilst bearing the above in mind electors are urged to attend their particular airstrips and voting areas promptly in order to save time.

All electors in the Falkland Islands are requested to give any assistance required in order to maintain the smooth running of the polling process.

Translated, that second line probably reads: "Please help pull if you find the polling station mired in the peat."
