Usually different elections are combined such as referendum (such as this one [1] referendum is gone now), Dutch water boards [2], municipality, or other elections. For me it starts at 9 PM when polling stations are closed, and ends at about 1 AM give or take. People who are part of the polling place team sit there all day long, but they also get paid more (what I said was for counters only). Basically the people I speak to have next day free (took day off, self employed, or retired). Last time I only had about 4 hours of sleep. I need 8, so next day when I got home I slept 4 hours extra. I cannot do that easily anymore. I'd have the same issue on Sunday -> Monday, but not so much on Friday/Saturday -> Saturday/Sunday.

I'm curious, what makes it so long ? Is it your voting system, or something else ?
In France, each time I went counting, it was always less than two hours.

I'm part of both groups of people ;).
