That being said, I’ve been on the other side of GDPR. Getting ready for GDPR around 2017 was so much work. We initially had a lengthy confluence runbook with all the places data had to be deleted from. It took a while to automate. Painful, but it’s the right thing to do.

If you’re rich enough or travel enough (like politicians), you can just claim that you will “be out of the county on election day and during the period for early voting by personal appearance”.
