Hi all,

Also from me, thanks to those sharing their tips and giving encouragement.

@ Rynetory, you are very welcome sweetie.

For those who asked and for those who wanna know cause of space problems in their barn, hereby :
The 3 Election Cookies from goal 2: after goal 2 you can sell these.
The 6 Election Cakes from goal 3: after goal 3 you can sell these.
The 3 Election Ciders from goal 4: after goal 4 you can sell these.
The 3 Lapel Pins from goal 6: KEEP 2 Lapel Pins to make the 2 Election Vests at goal 7. Only 1 of the 3 Lapel Pins will be an extra one you may sell.

Maybe also handy:
Needs for goal 5: 10 filled ballot, 6 wool, 4 iron, 2 gold, 2 Golden Pin.
Needs for goal 6: 6 iron, 3 insider dirt, 3 ballot paper.
Needs for goal 7: 16 filled ballot, 10 wool, 4 silver, 3 gold, 3 insider dirt, 3 Election Cupcake, 3 ballot paper, 2 Lapel Pin.
Depending on if you have to Make 1 OR 3 Election Cupcake (Making 1 is part of the goal. Perhaps you may be lucky to get 2 from Stormie, Newspaper or Neighbor's Shop so you won't have to Make the 2 extra Election Cupcake to make the 3 Election Gift):
Needs for 1 Election Cupcake: 1 cheese, 1 white sugar, 2 flour, 4 milk.
Needs for 3 Election Cupcake: 3 cheese, 3 white sugar, 6 flour, 12 milk.
Goal 7 is a MAKE goal, so you don't have to wait for everything to be ready to Give.

Sad to see, that after you finish this event, it's no longer possible to make items in the Election Tent. Would have been nice to be able to Make like the Election Cupcake to help out farmers so they only have to Make 1. Would be great if S8 can make this possible or in future events.

Good luck all!

Side Goal
Lean, Mean, Election Machine
Collect Official Votes x7
Play with Election Machine x7
REWARDS: 170 coins, 1 Official Vote, 70xps

Has anyone gotten "official votes" from fishing or mining? I've fished a good 20 times, using every bait, and didn't get anything. Also tried mining 5 times, and nothing. It says underneath that you can earn them through deliveries, mining and fishing, but so far only getting them from deliveries

Hi Dizzle,

I have gotten Official Votes from quest goals, 1 at the Mine so far (after mining 4 or 5 times) and with fishing with a golden lure (1 golden lure = 8 coins. It's to have luck though. Also got fish with a golden lure).
Got 0 from deliveries so far (did like 10 deliveries).

Got 1 from deliveries and 1 from completing part of the quest. I used few golden lures but got only fishes, I can't help but feel that I completely wasted them. Or perhaps I should have waited a day, maybe the rate will get increased later? I remember it was similar with camp coins.

It's to bad there isn't an election tent boost.....
5 hours for each election stuffing 20 hours total and you have to turn them in jeez that's almost a full day wasted waiting......

[linux4e]

Welcome back silver mine of mine!!! Found oficial votes in there too!

[ancsab]

Is it worth getting the ballot box?
