For me it is the concept of registering to vote. I am citizen so I have the right to vote automatically and only thing I need to provide is some accepted ID.

    Non US citizens, what’s the weirdest thing about USA elections, compared to elections in your country?

    I will probably get downvoted to oblivion for that but here it is: that one of your candidate was not put in jail already and is still legally able to run for presidency (note that I did not name said candidate, I would not want to influence US voters ;)

        There’s a downvote bot, sometimes people click the wrong button by accident, and this community is not leftist

      When I see how some of our politicians can run away from justice, it isn’t that weird.

      But our justice system is truly independent from the political one.

        True your two remarks.

        And we also have a few very questionable representatives/candidate to whatever elections around here, but so far none that has managed to get away from a failed coup at the previous election — sorry, it was unintentional but I may have hinted at the candidate I was surprised was still able to run tor presidency ;)
