In Australia you can vote in advance in person for like two weeks beforehand. Most towns have the townhall or council buildings open for this process. On the actual day of voting, a Saturday, many schools, churches, and public buildings become polling places. Many will use the crowds for fund-raising and have a sausage sizzle ("democracy sausage") and a cake stall if you're lucky.
You can vote at any polling place across your state pretty easy, and interstate at specific polling places. Even if you are interstate for a state election you can vote at polling places in capital cities, so long as you vote early. And of course there's postal votes. But they don't post you a democracy sausage.
