Voting from a first time voter perspective
October 27, 2020
The other day I experienced exercising my right to vote but, as a first time voter I was very nervous. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Here are a few things I experienced
- when you walk in you have to sanitize your hands and put a finger glove on your voting finger. Cells phone usage isn’t allowed so I suggest leaving it in your car.
- you are going to scan your license so have that prepared. This is when you grab your code and a sticker. I told the gentleman at the table it was my first time and he happily explained to me how the whole system works.
- when you get to your booth you are going to choose your language and begin voting. you turn a dial to all of your choices, because the screen isn’t touch screen. you go over all 9 pages and pick the candidates you want.
- at the end you need to read over all of your selections to make sure those are who you wanted.
- Lastly you are going to sanitize your station and leave.
make sure you wear a mask and bring your state id! All in all I was in there for not even 10 minutes. So if a line is your issue then you don’t have one at all!
