Who's voted early (2018 Midterm Elections)?

fidelity · Nov 1, 2018

I voted October 30.

Today is the last day for early voting in Maryland. Although it will be slightly crowded, it will be worse on Tuesday, November 6 on the general election day.

Most polls close at 8pm today. For early voting, you just need to go to an early voting location in your county. Frederick County has 4. Unlike on general election day where you have a specific precinct, you can use any of them. They'll ask you for your name, home address, and month and date of birth to see if you're a registered voter.

To find early voting locations, you can use these tools ...

I always vote in person if I am going to be "in town." Gives me a "taste" of local politics.

I did an absentee ballet earlier in the month in order to avoid people.

If you haven't registered, you aren't SOL yet. You can register during early voting, which ends TODAY, 11/1, at an early voting center in your county, with proof of residence.

From the AG site: "Voter registration for the November 6 general election closes on October 15. If you register to vote before October 15, you will be registered in time for the November 6 general election. In addition, Maryland has same-day voter registration during early voting but NOT on Election Day. You can register to vote or change an existing voter registration during early voting (October 25 thru November 1) by going to an early voting center in the county where you live and bringing a document showing proof of residency. You can give proof of residency by showing the election judge a Maryland driver's license or identification card with your current address or, if you don't have these documents or they don't show your current address, you can show the election judge a paycheck, bank statement, utility bill, or other official document with your name and new address.

If the election judge determines that you are a resident of the county and qualified to register, you will be given a voter authority card to sign and then issued a regular ballot."

They located the one's in Carroll County so far away it just isn't convenient.

Looks like I am voting on the 6th.

Not_an_outlaw · Nov 1, 2018

I did. Calvert County.

Today before lunch, Glen Burnie; 20 minutes in and out.

I’ve posted this in one if the other voter thread, but I don’t think i’m ever going to the polls again. Absentee ballot from now in. I sat in front of my computer and looked up each candidate and took my time checking the boxes.

Jim12 · Nov 1, 2018

Absentee for me too, except that I'd miss the guy standing outside the precinct yesterday with the homemade sign that explained in detail Trump's dealings with and subservience to Putin... lol.

Did it Saturday. Not near as busy as expected.

Same. Absentee was such an easy and relaxed process compared to every polling place I’ve ever used. I forgot to look up one set of county candidates and had a chance to look them up instead of either not voting for the position or just arbitrarily picking one.

Agree. I did vote at the polls in Broward County, FL for the 2016 election and it wasn't a hassle. Wasn't even pestered by the "poll fleas" usually encountered outside bum rushing you w/ their political bologna.

I'm still in MD, but made sure my Florida absentee ballot was done and sent in early after taking the time to look at the "who" and the "what" before deciding. Not that it was too difficult to figure out which candidates are more likely to preserve, expand, or return Constitutional liberties and which ones aren't.

We don't have electronic voting in Colorado. We get our ballots in the mail a month before the election and we can drop them in the mail at any time. I always wait until election day to drop mine off in the ballot box in person. I figure the less time they have to pull any shenanigans with my ballot the better.

I do the same ahead of time then go to early voting. Guess I feel I want my vote tallied at game time, not after.

BTW voted today was in and out 10 mins.

I was told by an election judge that if you show up to vote on the 6th and are not registered, you can still vote with a Provisional Ballot. He also said that anyone that shows up and is not on the voter rolls will be given a Provisional ballot and it will be sorted out (if they are eligible to vote or not) when they count them over the next couple of weeks.

Edit found the Provisional rule:. Here is the rule regarding showing up and voting and not being registered.

Mailed our absentee ballots yesterday.

Voted early on mid afternoon Saturday in Glen Burnie. It was busier than I thought since it was a rainy day and line is outside the library. The worker said they were busy all day.

Thanks for this information, and the polling updates that you've been posting in the other thread.

Don't count on it.

See my post in the other thread. I believe that the subparagraph you cited from COMAR doesn't apply, because two paragraphs before that it states that it doesn't apply to general elections, which this is.

Why would anybody risk not having their vote count? If you aren't registered, vote TODAY!!

Mr H · Nov 1, 2018

Voted last Thursday, played Daywalker Friday.

Will be at the polling place Tuesday.
