Me: Ireland - Approximately 2 minutes until poll in hand is the longest.
I’ve been seeing long lines for the US elections even for early voting. Seems completely unnecessary.
Australia (Sydney). A few years ago I went and there was a queue going outside the door and volunteers were telling people that it would take 30-45 minutes but to please stay in line. They were also handing out Tim Tams for people in line. I decided to try another polling station instead, which was 10-15 minutes walk away. There was no queue at all there so I was out within a couple minutes. So that one took the longest even though most of it was walking to another location. Wish there was a way to tell the people in that queue that other locations were empty.
Did you get your sausage?
I’ve actually never gotten sausage after voting 😬
Shambles. :)
7 hours. People were showing up with pizza and sandwiches for everyone in line. It really destroyed my faith in my local government but built my sense of community.
I think you hold the record so far!
Edit: also fair play to you for sticking it out.
About 15 minutes, this morning in Wilmington, NC. In previous elections here, I’ve walked in and voted immediately, with no line
I’m gonna grasp at that being positive. My favourite band at a ripe old age, Sylvan Esso, are from NC.
I discovered Sylvan Esso a few days ago and they are fantastic.
Also, The Dø
Thanks will check then out.
If you get the chance, Sylvan Esso are incredible live. Seen them a few times now.
