I'm in USA. Not a whole lot up until the very end. I tend to ignore it pretty well until it all gets close then obsession with it kicks in. I pretty much know election day is a productivity write off for me so I just don't worry about it, its only a day every 4 years.
I know of one theatre that has an adults only floor. Same movies and same start times as the general audience floor. No kids allowed, they have a bar, and people dress up to go there. I assume there are others doing the same.
