Synopsis

It’s Election Day, and Adam knows his over-zealous girlfriend will never forgive him if he fails to vote.

But when his sex starved sister, an eco-terrorist, and a mayoral candidate willing to do anything for a vote all show up, Adam finds that making that quick trip to the polls might be harder than he thought.

Election Day is a hilarious dark comedy about the price of political (and personal) campaigns.

Press Reviews

"An outrageous comedy...at double-espresso speed."

— The New York Times

"Ridiculously entertaining...cute and cutting."

— Variety

"Laugh-out-loud."

— Back Stage

"Delightfully farcical...Tobiessen takes a simple premise and spins it out into a hilarious sequence of events. His dialogue is lean and playful, and includes some terrific lines."
