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.
I think there were like two couples and another person entering the building just ahead of me, so I had to wait 10 seconds until it was my turn to drop my envelope in the urn. This was in Switzerland, in a suburb of Zürich.
But more often I just walk in up to the box, say hello to the people organising and drop it in directly. I’ve never encountered a queue yet.
20 seconds, Germany. Waiting while they checked if my name was on the list.
About an hour. New Zealand. Things weren’t well-organised that day.
About 15 minutes, this morning in Wilmington, NC. In previous elections here, I’ve walked in and voted immediately, with no line
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 😬
Maybe 30 to 45 minutes in Merritt Island, Florida, back in 2004.
It was my first time voting, and I went with my parents after they were home from work, so it’s likely that that was the longest anyone there waited.
I’ve lived all over central Florida since, and have never had to wait at all, but that’s mostly because I do Early Voting or even Vote By Mail now.
The longest for me was about 30 seconds. Coincidentally about as much as sex.
What a weird thing to say
Probably about 2 minutes, but usually I never have to queue.
If I remember correctly in Corona times it was something like 10-15 minutes. Other then that mostly not at all. Country Germany
Still waiting cast my vote for Obama the second time.
Maybe if Missouri gets a new AG they’ll get around to processing those provisional ballots.
5 mins, new Zealand. The voting places are super empty because they open for multiple days.
5 minutes. I don’t live in a swing state and go during work hours, so that might effect it.
3 hour wait to vote for Obama. Since then it’s been 20-30 minutes every time.
No more that 5 minutes.
A few minutes. No minutes today, or most years here. I’m in a solidly blue state though.
