That's awesome! The stories of so many returning to vote was really inspiring. The turnout of young voters in the U.S. is always so low -- it's hard to imagine a similar effort here.
I think that's one of the things that makes it so special... People really cared.

I saw the related story about the priest coming out and receiving a warm welcome from his congregation -- nice to see.
Oh I have not seen that! Do you have a link?
