Oh. That looks like it may rule out postal voting (although if you send in a postal vote and it's not counted until the polls closed, it should be after sunset).

But what about some local government elections where the election takes place on a Thursday, but they don't start counting the votes until Friday evening?

I hoped that it was only the actual voting people would object to, providing the counting doesn't _have_ to be on Saturday, but I don't actually know. Technically if you vote, you are very indirectly causing someone to count your ballot on saturday, but to me it feels more like buying something from someone you know is likely to do stock-taking on Saturday -- sufficiently removed it can't be yuor fault any more. But I don't know if people who keep very strict would actually see it that way.
