It is election time, and soon there will be lines of people
waiting to cast their important vote. The one downside to voting? The crowds.
Today we’re going to give advice to try and beat the crowds on election
First off, go early if you can. A lot of people head to the
polls right after work, and lines will be long. Plus, who wants to stand in a
long line right after they got off work? Consider building time into your
schedule to go before work. Lunch breaks are another peak time at the polls so
we suggest avoiding then as well, unless you happen to take an early or late
lunch.
If you do not have a traditional 9-5 job, this puts you in a
great position for voting. You can choose any time of the day to go in. Late
morning and early afternoon will have smaller crowds as many people will be at
work, decreasing your wait time.
If you do get stuck waiting in a long line, follow
instructions. Switching lines or allowing different lines to intersect will
only make the process take longer. Just be a little patient until it is your
turn.
Even though the crowds aren’t fun, don’t use that as a
reason to not vote! It’s an important right as an American to have a voice in
who is elected. So get out to the polls and cast your vote next week!
