Austria election re-run to be postponed 'due to glue problem'

The re-run of Austria's presidential election on October 2 needs to be postponed because of problems with glue on postal votes not sticking, the interior minister said Monday. "We are going to request that parliament approves a postponement of the election," Wolfgang Sobotka told reporters. The postponement is a further embarrassment for Austria, a wealthy and advanced Western democracy and EU member, and for the government of Chancellor Christian Kern.
