Please answer today but also come back and change your choice if your voting status changes. Let’s take some hope in watching all the not yet votes flip to “I voted” as the election draws near.
Not yet, I have my absentee ballot filled out but H doesn't. He likes to copy the back of mine with the judges and school board etc I've set him a deadline of Sunday night and both ballots are on the kitchen table. Once he does his I'll drop them in the box at the clerks office.
I have my ballot here (all mail state) but I am overwhelmed with how much stuff is on the ballot and I haven't dug into it yet. I usually end up waiting until the last minute and then dropping it off at my library on election day.
Dropped my ballot off on Tuesday! I signed up to vote by mail for all elections in my town/state and I love that they send the ballots right to our house. It makes it easier to research candidates and questions when we have time.
I do kind of miss voting in person tho. I used to take the kids with me, which was fun. And I really want an "I voted" sticker!

I'm voting on election day, but I am a precinct clerk so will be there all day anyway. Processing early ballots is a PITA (although I absolutely encourage it) so I feel like I'm doing myself a small favor but not voting early lol.
I’m still studying the California propositions! There’s 10 of them this election and some have confusing wording.
The LA times, SF chronicle and Sac Bee have put their voters guide behind paywalls. I need some legal people to break down what the propositions actually will do. I purchased the Sac Bee subscription ($1 for a month and then I’ll cancel) and their proposition guide is an hour long video.

Early voting hasn't opened yet in my county and I wasn't eligible to vote by mail. We're currently traveling but I'll vote when I get home and voting opens. I still need to research a few local candidates, anyway. (Wish there was a good single source to do this, but haven't found one 😞 so I'll be googling for awhile)

One of them I just gave up on and didn’t vote either way 🤷🏻♀️ When in doubt, I generally do research on who is supporting it and make a call. I didn’t feel like any were intentionally misleading, but the why certainly wasn’t always clear.

I always vote in person on election day. Our early voting places are not close, busy and have limited hours. On election day is down the street and is super quick.
Not yet. It will be a convenience-based, game time decision whether I'll vote early (open Oct 26 - Nov 3) or on Election Day, but either way it will be in person.

Not yet, early voting hasn’t opened in my state yet. Saturday is the first day of early voting, so H and I plan to go then. I’m paranoid and if I’m hit by a bus Sunday I want to ensure I got my vote in.
Early voting starts today in Maryland! So no, I haven't. My H and I plan to go on Saturday. I am actually working as an election judge so technically I could vote that day, but since I'll have the car my H will need to vote early. I figure I may as well just go with him and get it over with too.
I work as an election judge on election day so I vote early. I have done this in the past as the precinct I am assigned in not mine (although closer to my house than my actual precinct) so I had to vote early. Starting with the primaries this year, our county allows voters to vote at any precinct in the county so I could vote where I work but I am assuming we will be a *tiny bit busy* so it will be easier if I go just ahead of time.
Voted yesterday and got choked up. I prefer going on Election Day but with my H’s schedule was easier to go early, also heard the texts will stop after I’ve voted 🙃
I'm meeting my 18 yo Saturday morning to early vote together! We can early vote anywhere in the county so we're meeting at the location closest to her campus to vote.
MH already voted Monday when early voting opened here.
I want to vote on Election Day someday but my anxiety and the what if’s will not let me. Voted by mail but dropped off the envelope at the elections office.

Trying to go tonight since we will be traveling on election day. Hubby went yesterday but said the lien was too long to do it in his lunch break. Fingers crossed it's not too bad tonight....
