    I’ve never stood in like for early voting in the EU. I’ve done it at my supermarket while getting groceries.

    Grab a ballot and envelope, enter booth, do the thing, walk to desk, flash id, get crossed off list, watch volunteer put your envelope in another envelope and drop it in the ballot box.

    In-and-out, three minutes.

    Come to think of it, voting on election day has always been just as smooth. I just have to go to the library or some school, so it’s not as convenient.

      I never had to wait for longer than 5 minutes to vote and I never voted early. Mostly because it takes 10 minutes of my time on voting day, which is always a Sunday.

      Polling places can’t be further away than 1,5km I believe, so wherever you live, it will be close enough to just walk there.

      I have voted in schools, kindergardens, a community center and a church.
