Never more than 10 minutes. Often no waiting at all.

In Germany, we have small local voting places everywhere. These are like makeshift offices that exist only for this day in the schools or other public places. Volunteers are working there to support the voting procedures, usually on a Sunday from 8-18h, and in the evening they count the votes, according to a strict protocol.

Today in the US was for me. The polling place was only a 5 minute walk away, but the wait was about 45 minutes. Tbf though, I naturally managed to pick the slowest moving line by a good margin; people who were initially standing behind me switched to other lines midway through and were able to get their ballot before me. I would guess most people were there for 30 minutes.

For every previous election I voted in-person, the wait was like 10 minutes tops, but those were in smaller towns.

A few minutes. No minutes today, or most years here. I’m in a solidly blue state though.

The one time I voted actually on election day I waited about 20 minutes. This is in Suburban North Carolina. I was in line about 5 minutes this election.

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.

I once waited half an hour for voting, because I foolishly decided to vote just when Sunday mass was over (we vote on Sundays, and my polling station was right across the church). Never made that mistake again, waiting time is usually five to ten minutes.

Location: Germany

3 hour wait to vote for Obama. Since then it’s been 20-30 minutes every time.

If I remember correctly in Corona times it was something like 10-15 minutes. Other then that mostly not at all. Country Germany

5 minutes. I don’t live in a swing state and go during work hours, so that might effect it.

Probably about 2 minutes, but usually I never have to queue.

Germany, zero minutes. Postal voting ftw!

40 minutes, once, in 2015, Canada.

Usually, 2-5 minutes.

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.

The longest for me was about 30 seconds. Coincidentally about as much as sex.

5 mins, new Zealand. The voting places are super empty because they open for multiple days.
