Are You Voting Early?

[cow451]

I voted today. How many have already or will BEFORE election day?

 

[Desk trauma]

This year I will be voting early after driving eight hours to do so as I am working out of state.

 

[Brightmoon]

I voted already

 

[SimplyMe]

Polls in my state open for early voting next Tuesday. I suspect I'll vote sometime next week; a time when I can easily get out and the lines are relatively short.

Our family is voting by this weekend (provided the ballots arrive today in the mail ). Arizona's in person and mail in voting started yesterday.

When I was growing up as a child until I left home on my own, election day was a big deal.

My dad would say one of the greatest obligations an American has is to vote. Back then there was no early voting, so for me, I can't shake that tradition.

I will vote on election day.

Dropping off the ballot in the mail as soon as I get it (we were supposed to get it 3 days ago).

Vote in this poll, too!

This time is the first time I have voted early in a Presidential election.

OK

 

[durangodawood]

I voted in this poll as early as I possibly could.

Will vote in that other election asap.

Nope. In my state, the only way to vote in early is via absentee ballot and this is the first time they are being used on a widescale level rather than needing a reason for them. I don't exactly trust the state to get me my ballot on time and process it in a timely manner the first time around (especially since they are dealing with more than expected) without at least stressing me out some. My polling place is right around the corner from me, I'm working from home, and I'm not really afraid of voting in person, so I'll just go do it in person on election day.

Maybe after this election when they have the kinks worked out, I'll opt for mail in.

Polls for in person voting open Monday in GA and my mother and I plan to probably go on Wednesday before she takes me to the after school program for people with disabilities I attend weekly.

I received my mail-in ballot yesterday and dropped it off in the mailbox today.

Maybe the exercise is a good thing, LOL.

 

[Speedwell]

I voted two weeks ago and walked my ballot over to the board of elections and handed it in in person.

 

[Isilwen]

I will be voting early as I am not sure that I can vote on Election day as my job will not give time off to do so.

I would do the same if it were our state's first rodeo with mass mail in voting.

I think that’s illegal

 

[Hank77]

We should receive our ballots today or tomorrow. We'll be filling them out Sat. morning and putting it in the dropbox at the county building.

It depends on the state. There isn't a federal requirement that employers are given time to vote.
