During the last elections day (our laws consider to conduct all the elections in one certain day of the year now) I was to vote for four times and each time there was a huge list of candidates. That day we elected: the city's mayor, deputies for the regional parlament (as party candidates), deputies for regional parlament (non-party candidates), deputies for the city's "kind of parlament".
So we may not be an ideal democracy, but surely there are plenty of elections to vote.
