[quote=Anonymous]The lines this afternoon at Ffx Cnty Gov. Cntr looked like about an hour.  I figured the lines at FCGC would drop once the other 14 locations opened up.  I'd wait until a Tues/Wed/Thurs next week at the FCGC or any of the satellites.... and best if it is a cold/rainy day!  I work at the FCGC and see the lines morning and afternoon.

And if you really don't want to wait in line, you might go on Nov. 3rd!  There are over 200 precincts on election day, so there are only 4000-5000 total people who could be voting at any precinct.  There are only 15 locations open now... so with 700k possible voters, there are a LOT of people who will be at each early voting station.

Or do like I did --- order your ballot on line -- get it in 7-9 days, and drop it off.  There is no waiting to drop off a ballot in a drop box.  Right now, we are processing on line applications for absentee ballots (i.e. mail ballots) THE SAME DAY!  That is crazy fast.  So, you could actually get your ballot in 7 days (maybe less).

If you are going to request a ballot, do it on line b/c the system will force you to provide the required info.  If you print out a form to request a ballot, chances are good that you will screw it up and that will cause a big delay.

Pro tip:  DO NOT request to have your ballot sent to another location in Fairfax County other than your registered address of record.  It will be rejected.  If you want it sent to a California address, a Maryland address, an Arlington address -- we can do that.  But we cannot send your ballot to another address in Fairfax County -- ONLY your address of record (on your voter registration).
