What voting method will you use?
 
Are you a vote by mail type? Do you mail your ballot in as soon as you receive it? Or are you a stand in line type? Do you prefer voting in the early morning or after your work day?

Personally, I love standing in line first thing in the morning to place my vote. Something about that feels powerful. However, I was always concerned something would stop me from getting there so several years ago I signed up for vote by mail.

Many elections, I am still in line to drop off my vote by mail ballot but this year I will be out of town on election day so have mailed my ballot in the weekend after I received it.

up until now i've always voted in person on election day, but i recently registered for "permanent advance voter" status due to permanent disability - in my county, you have to be disabled to be able to automatically vote by mail every election (instead of having to re-register to vote by mail every election). so i got my ballot last week and filled it out but i haven't dropped it in the outgoing mail yet :) hopefully i'll do that today or tomorrow.

I think this time around I going to use one of these two methods. Pin the tail on the donkey. Or try the magic 8 ball.

In person though I might regret it. Getting older and arthritic. But I like the ritual. I like being there with my fellow citizens doing our civic duty. I have always loved it.

Rock paper scissors. Or maybe the time tested trusty chicken wishbone.

Will you be submitting your decision by telepathy?

Not super busy where I live but regardless- I GO. I don't trust mail in ballots. I barely trust the electronic ballots.


VOTE no matter what!

Fifteen days to go, ...Mine is filled out and ready.

I too, love standing in line first thing in the morning to place my vote.

I study and fill out my Absentee Voter Ballot at home. Then I am in line when the polls open and drop my vote in the box. Get that little I voted sticker and go to work and nudge those who haven't done so to get off their duffs and go vote.

In person here!!!! For roughly 15 years i volunteered on the voting committee in Knoxville. This year i'm not. Although, i do know all those women and men sitting behind those tables and at the voter booths.

It will be interesting to see them again and catch up.

Bully will get a big dose of "Haven't seen you in a while" conversations...

We will vote at my elementary school. It's a very small world around here.

Early mail-in ballot. :)

I have been voting Absentee Ballot of over 20 years now. When I first started using this method, it was mostly Republicans and older people using absentee. (Although I was not old nor Republican at the time. ) Now, the Democrats and others are using Absentee more and more.

I go to the polling station for my neighborhood. It's the Community College right by my house. But pin the tail on the donkey would work too.

That's where my magic 8 ball comes in.

Normally in person on election day, however, this year I went to town hall and voted early. I don't trust the mail.

easygoingfemme 10-22-2012 05:35 PM

In person, with a smile.

Medusa 10-22-2012 05:38 PM

I always vote in person on election day. I love the buzz and the lines of people anxious to cast their ballots.

Hope that everyone here will get out and VOTE!

Hollylane 10-22-2012 05:41 PM

I will be voting via the absentee ballot...I prefer to avoid the conversation at the voting locations...

Cowboi 10-22-2012 05:48 PM

I always vote on my way to work. its early, and not much of a line at 530 am.

Reader 10-22-2012 06:04 PM

I already voted by mail for Bam and Biden. They never have enough parking where I vote and it is ALWAYS raining on Election Day.
