I was in and out in under 10 minutes, including the trudging across the muddied feild that was utilized for overflow parking and staring at our district map in befuddlement for a good minute and a half.
The other half of this question is :
Were you ID’d or asked for it when filling out your Voting card ballot thingie?
I’ve never been asked for ID in all my years of voting.
I went in the middle of the morning thinking I’d miss the before and after work crowd. Still it took the better part of an hour.
They were only letting 10 people at a time inside the facility as that is how many little voting booths they had set up.
I voted by filling in little ovals next to my selections.
How did you vote?
I got in line at about 6:30 this morning. I cast my ballot at 9:30.
Hoyle!
I was also asked for my ID. I’ve been ID’d every election since we moved down to Georgia. I was never ID’d in North Carolina.
In and out in under 5 minutes, about 1 this afternoon. They didn’t ask for ID - just asked my name, date of birth, and address. In Florida, they used to ask for drivers licenses, I think…
Took me about 20 minutes total (15 minutes waiting, and 5 to color in the little ovals, no hanging chads this year in my precinct)
I have never had to show an ID they just compare my signature to the one they have on record. This is the first time I’ve voted at this polling place where there was any kind of line.That’s impressive considering I’ve been voting at the same place for 13 years.
10-15 minutes. I’ve never been asked for ID.
Since the lines wrapped around the church and out of sight this morning, I’m going to try around 3:00. Mrs. lieu went at 10:00 and was through an hour and 50 minutes later. She did say though that there was a seperate, shorter line for voters with kids in a stroller so maybe I’ll stop by the house first so I can introduce little lieu lieu to the democratic process.
10 minutes or so. The place was pretty busy but things seemed to be well planned and handled. The only wait was for a machine. There was no one waiting in front of me, it was just a matter of those voting getting done.
We used computer touch screens with these real high-tech yellow pencils to jab the screen with the eraser. The thing looked pretty idiot proof to me. You were offered several chances to go back and change things and were warned if there was an office/issue you had not voted on - but you weren’t required to vote on them. At the end they showed a list of your choices and when you said okay a paper ballot was printed out.
The only problem I saw was that there was no way to do a write in.
An hour and a half in all, longer than I’ve ever spent voting, by a LOT. Of course, I’ve never needed three ballots to get it right before.

10 minutes, and I was lucky and scored a parking spot right out front. My dog hung over the side of the truck and watched for me until I came out.
I didn’t have to show ID - I was just asked my name, but my landlord’s whole family works at the polls, so they know who I am. We had the touch screens too, but you just poked with your finger and they must have been collected electronically. Push a big blinking button and the end, and it submits your vote. Easy as pie, but there were plenty of people there to help out the computer illiterate.
10 minutes. 3rd in line when they opened at 6:00. Was not asked for any identification. In fact, I had to tell the untrained worker that I was supposed to sign next to my name and he had to call back the first two voters because they had not signed. We are still coloring in the little circles.
I got in line at 6:40am. I was the 7th person in line and was out of there by 7:05.
By the time I was walking out, the line was out the door.
The poll person had forgotten that she was supposed to ask for ID but remembered with me. If I had not had any I probably would have been okay because a neighbor was also working there.
I’ve been living here 18 years and this is the busiest I’ve seen my precinct.
I went in at 7:30, and it took ten minutes. I had my ID out, so I don’t know if they would have asked for it or not.
Start to finish, about five minutes. I’m in rural eastern NC. No line for people with last names starting with K-Z to sign in, about 15 people in line to sign in to the A-J book (never saw a line there before today). Nobody asked for ID. There seemed to be more poll workers helping people out than I’ve seen in times before. Voted by filling in little ovals. No exit polls. Very quick and easy.
Walked to my neighbor’s garage at 8:35 am. 3 people in line ahead of me.
No ID check, just the usual signature. (I’ve never been asked for ID in the 20 years I’ve been voting). Back home and off to work by 8:50 am. Coloring circles with an ink pen.
It’ll be interesting to see how long the lines are tonight. This mornings line was nothing compared to last years gubernatorial recall election. That was a long line.
Less than fifteen minutes from out of my car to back in. The other precint voting at the same polling place had a line 20 people long. This was at about 8:45 AM.
DeHusband and I got in line at 6:30 am; we pulled in 3 cars ahead of the sheriff’s deputy/crowd control. We were about 250 back waiting for the polls to open at 7 am. Finally voted about 8. Actual time spent in the booth = less than 2 minutes. Big blinky old-style electronic booth with a big green vote button. When we left, the line was about 800 people, according to the deputy.
About an hour and 45 minutes. My polling station had technical difficulties with the electronic voting system so no one could vote until about 9:30 a.m. using this system (polls opened at 7 in MD). Well, I could have waited in line for a paper ballot, but that line was even longer. I can’t imagine what the lines will look like tonight.
No ID check, they just asked me to verify my DOB and address.
About 10 minutes. I had no trouble finding a parking space. There was no one else in the M-R line; I had my i.d. out, but they didn’t ask to look at it, only asked for my address and birthdate. There was no line at the booths, but we had new touch-screens, so I had to wait about half a minute for someone to come take me to an empty one and show me how to use it.
I had heard from co-workers who went in to vote before work this morning that it took them about an hour, so I was prepared for a long wait when I went this afternoon on the way home (around 3:00), but there were no difficulties or delays at all.
