I have _never_ voted in an election that had fewer than twelve separate issues on the ballot, and it's not unheard of for as many as fifty. Can you imagine giving people fifty different pieces of paper to vote on?
My understanding of European democracy is that voters simply choose a box for the party they're voting for, and then go home.
Here (on the West Coast) you have a huge number of offices to vote on, from Governor to Dogcatcher. As well as all of the Issues that got placed on the ballot by initiative petition and levies or bond issues by local government bodies.
