Current Events > Voters of CE, what's the longest you've waited in line to vote?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've voted in person once, in 2012.

It took less than 10 minutes iirc

But I lived in a county of less than 23,000 people

---

14000 person town. 4 precincts. Never a line as you would expect with these numbers.

---

Never had to wait or line up. Lived in various places from a big city to a small town. All perfectly fine and easy.

This is in the UK though.

---

When I lived in a democratic stronghold, the longest was about 6 hours. Ever since moving to cult land, the longest was about 5 minutes.

---

Went with the second option but probably the first one

---

I live in a city of roughly 400k & I've never had a line last more than 5 minutes in my 20+ years of voting.

Its not about just standing in line. You also have travel time to and from wherever it is the votes are held.

I said under 15 minutes but it's rare that I've voted in person; mail-in ballots have been a thing where I live for a long time.

Remember waiting awhile in 2008 but not more than an hour

30-60. Some years back there was one in Baltimore County Maryland where we had to fill out our ballot which was almost instant...but then we had to wait almost an hour to put them through this machine. There were only like 3 machines for the entire place and one of them wasn't working. So a huge bottleneck was created. A nonsensical setup. I wasn't even there at a horrendously busy time.

i was there over an hour in 2012

2016 there literally was no line, i just walked in and voted instantly

2020 i was there maybe 20 or 30 minutes

---

In 2020, people in Georgia were waiting about 11 hours in line to vote at one point.

---

pretty much 0. there's a voting spot down the street from me. i fill out the ballot when i get it in the mail and i walk right in and drop it off.

---

I waited a little more than an hour to vote early in the Presidential Election last year.

---

2-3 hours

serious lack of voting precincts in the boondocks

---

Like 10 mins maybe. It's usually more of a pain in the ass to find parking where I vote. But they do a pretty good job of getting in and out so things don't get too backed up.

I vote by mail

---

mail

---

Last election was the longest i had to wait. It may have been around an hour. Can't remember exactly

---

15 minutes

---

washington state has been mail in voting my entire adult life.

---

I have never waited more than five minutes. Last time I voted, I used a mail-in ballot. I dont ever see myself voting again, though, especially not for presidential election. Vote blue locally and dont vote federally.

---

half of CE is the lady in the picture and 30% of CE has never voted in person

I always vote.early. I waited about 15 minutes one year in college. I forgot my.proof of residence and had to go back home to get a bill so I could register at the poll.

---

Like 90 mins this past presidential election. Sucked.
---

yea, I've never voted in person, it has always been by mail.

---

I did early voting and showed up about 30 mins before the polls opened. I was done about 45 minutes after they opened.

The first time I voted it was election day and it was a lot faster.
