The lady in charge there said it was busy earlier. |
I voted at the school on intermediate way.
I had a 10 min wait on line at 11:30.

Crown heights - close to an hour around 3 pm. But I was there at 9 am and then at 12 and the lines looked about the same. I didn't have time to wait then, so I left both times and came back at 3.

The other areas didnt have interest in voting early? |
My neighborhood had lines. 45 minutes plug for most of the day. BH it only took me 25 minutes from when I walked in until I walked out.

Bayswater (Far Rockaway, NY) - lines were a little long for most districts. My line only had 2 people in front of me. But somehow those two people seemed to take forever. I don't get it because it took me about 30 seconds to register. Whatever, I still didn't spend too much time overall but it was a little weird.
People who went earlier in the day to that same polling site said they were there for an hour.
It was definitely the busiest I've ever seen it. I guess people aren't motivated enough to participate in midterm and local elections which is a shame because those can really be impactful.

What time did you go? I was there at 4:30-ish. They made me stand on the line by the door even though I knew what table I needed to go to. That line took about 2 minutes. Then I went to my district line and there were 5 people before me. That one took time. Oh, and only one of the people sitting at that table had a tablet, so the line was moving really slow. The whole thing took me 25 minutes.

Maybe a bit after 4:30. They said if you have your fast pass you could go ahead, and I spoke up and said I didn't bring my pass but I know which district I am, so she said ok you can go straight there. There were only 1-2 people ahead of me but they processed slowly. Could've been worse though.

My early voting place was in Brooklyn college and I didn’t want to enter any college campus at this time.
I voted by coney and newkirk and we waited at least half an hour to get the papers and then a few more minutes to wait to get a booth to fill out and another few minutes to put the papers into the scanner.
Since it’s about a 5-6 minute walk from my house it ended up taking an hour the whole ordeal.

That is precisely why I didn't vote early. I figured everyone would vote early so the lines wouldn't be so long in Election Day. The early voting site wasn't as convenient as my regular poll site, and I like to take my kids along with me when I vote, so I went at about 6:20 pm today. The lines went fast. I was out within 30 minutes if not less.
