⏱️ Best Times to Vote
Casting your ballot in the midmorning or midafternoon may shorten your wait time. Early morning, noon, and after 5:00 p.m. are peak times as people typically vote before, after, or on their lunch breaks.
Accessibility: If there is a line to vote, frail, physically disabled, or visibly pregnant voters can request to be moved to the front of the line.
