Getting ready to go vote myself. Talley will be open to all Wake County residents to early vote today from 11am to 7pm. Campaigns waste resources reaching out to voters, so help the campaigns you support by voting sooner than later, so they spend their resources reaching out to someone other than you.

Post here when you've voted.

10/18/2012 10:40:48 AM

So in other words, you haven't actually voted yet.

10/18/2012 10:52:48 AM

10/18/2012 11:07:18 AM

NO

10/18/2012 11:11:57 AM

I have voted.

10/18/2012 12:12:27 PM

I mailed my absentee ballot this morning.

10/18/2012 12:24:56 PM

Absentee ballot voted last week.

10/18/2012 1:01:55 PM

Just got back from Talley. No close by free parking for voting is a sham. I just parked in a RE spot and took my chances with parking enforcement... I won.

10/18/2012 1:06:46 PM

Last time I parked in the Coliseum Deck pay deck section on the bottom but stayed less than half an hour there was no charge to leave, and it's right beside Talley basically. I don't think they advertise that free option though. So unless that's changed, that could be a free and close option, or worst case scenario you're out $2.

Or, use the Coliseum Deck after 5pm. After 5pm it, and a lot of other on campus spots are open and free. Talley is open until 7pm today.

10/18/2012 1:28:28 PM

I thought the first 15 minutes were free, which likely won't be long enough to go vote and make it back in time. $2 isn't bad though, I've just given enough money to NCSU Transportation over the years . And yeh, after 5 PM, 95% of campus parking is open/free, even right beside talley.

10/18/2012 1:36:58 PM

Tell us who you voted for ITT

10/18/2012 2:02:23 PM

I prefer voting on election day

10/18/2012 2:09:23 PM

Post here if you feel smug about having participated in early voting.

10/18/2012 2:20:28 PM

You should feel smug about voting at all. My ancestors had to grab a rifle when they wanted a change in government.

10/18/2012 2:26:21 PM

am i allowed to vote supplanter?

10/18/2012 2:52:44 PM

faxed my absentee ballot on tuesday

have my doubts about it being counted but not too worried as i'm pretty sure california is going obama with or without my vote...

10/18/2012 3:11:57 PM

I'm not voting this year. I'm not an official resident of California yet and I don't care enough about the local politics of Boston to vote absentee there. It isn't like my presidential vote is going to change either of those states anyway.

10/18/2012 3:19:53 PM

I was going to vote during lunch but the damn line at 11am was over an hour long. Screw that. I'm guessing if I go next Tuesday they'll be hardly anyone there.

10/18/2012 4:15:25 PM

i voted at optimist this afternoon.

10/18/2012 4:51:49 PM

I went through and used my friend's Facebook birthday to look up their voter registration information.

It's quite surprising. Many people just don't give enough of a damn to vote in more than 1 or 2 elections.

10/18/2012 4:55:48 PM

you only need first and last name


it's creepy that i do that, isn't it?

^ I do the same

10/18/2012 5:03:32 PM

I voted!

And it looks like a lot of people want in on this action:

"RALEIGH, N.C. — Early voting in North Carolina got off to a fast start Thursday, as people lined up outside one-stop voting locations statewide and waited for up to an hour to cast ballots. Lines snaked out the Chavis Park Community Center in southeast Raleigh even before early voting began at 11 a.m., and traffic was backed up onto Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard as people coming to the community center waited for parking spots to open up. "I don't want to be in the back of the line on the last day," voter Vivian Lee said. "I wanted to make sure to get my vote in so it counts," voter Marian Best said."

Chavis sounds packed. Now that it's after 5pm it'll be even easier to vote on campus by parking anywhere near Talley, which is open for voting until 7pm. Go vote now.

10/18/2012 5:06:59 PM

I do not want to stand in line forever. Don't the lines actually go faster on election day?

10/18/2012 5:07:56 PM

I also have looked up my friends' voting records.

I know Optimist was busy today. My dad is working at that polling site, and a friend of my mom was voter 514 around 2/3.

10/18/2012 5:08:24 PM

A lot of people lined up to vote as polls opened, a lot of political parties and civics groups had events as the polls opened. If you go now, you'd be fine. Or tomorrow too.

10/18/2012 5:08:49 PM

I think I'll go Saturday. Or Sunday. I need to do some reasearch on the judges first.

10/18/2012 5:11:05 PM

Still time for anyone who wants to go today, just get there by 7pm!

10/18/2012 6:17:01 PM

Voted, GOP.

10/18/2012 6:40:31 PM

what does a "legacy" vote method mean?

Not during a presidential year.

I ended up going back to the Cary early voting at 5pm. Was able to walk right up and vote. Apparently the trick in Cary is to go when the retired people and stay at home moms have already stood in line.

10/19/2012 1:32:05 PM

I am just gonna go right when they open on a weekday. Working from home FTW.

10/19/2012 3:21:42 PM

Getting close to 5 o'clock.

Talley is open for voting until 7pm.

Look at your sample ballot: https://www.ncsbe.gov/VoterLookup.aspx?Feature=voterinfo

Start getting ready to go vote soon! Parking on campus after 5pm is easy.

10/19/2012 4:24:22 PM

I understand why people vote early.

I understand why people encourage others to vote.

But why the hell do people want ME to vote early?

Fuck you, I'll vote on ELECTION DAY.

10/19/2012 6:55:13 PM

sent my absentee ballot in!

10/19/2012 7:23:08 PM

I early voted and got a free mustache for it

10/19/2012 7:33:49 PM

I voted for the government to strip you of your freedoms and civil liberties.

10/19/2012 7:36:39 PM

i too voted for Romney

[Edited on October 19, 2012 at 7:49 PM. Reason : his mr fantastic face sold me]

10/19/2012 7:48:04 PM

I voted, got a sticker too

10/19/2012 8:28:40 PM

I also voted for Obama while wearing a fake mustache, to balance myself out

10/19/2012 8:47:05 PM

got dat sticker

10/20/2012 1:07:16 AM

Saturday October 20 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Talley is open for a lot longer today than tomorrow. And I imagine it's easier to park on the weekend than weekdays.

10/20/2012 11:27:11 AM

I voted yesterday at Optimus; line was ridiculous at 11:30. I was voter 2803. Kid got a "Future Voter" sticker.

[Edited on October 23, 2012 at 10:58 AM. Reason : there's also early voting at Bond Park]

10/23/2012 10:57:29 AM

I still need to do some research on the judges, but I'm so ready to get this over with. All of it. The whole thing.

are all the lines still ridiculous?

10/23/2012 11:26:28 AM

i voted

10/23/2012 11:27:23 AM

^^ Not if you go around 4pm. From what my mom has told me (she's working early voting), the lines sucks ass when they first open but then are pretty much clear around the time people start heading home. Which is kind of weird because you'd expect it to be the other way around.

At least Talley has parking spaces you can access, even if it means risking a ticket. Duke also has an early voting site but parking is a gigantic clusterfuck on their campus.
