    Where do you vote?

    Not WHO, but WHERE? Where do you go to vote?

    I ask because I read an article about schools possibly closing on Tuesday because of security concerns, and I have never had a school as a polling place.

    Schools are the predominant venue here.

    Over the years I've gone to community centers, apartment complexes, I believe schools, fire departments and today my husband and I went downtown to go ahead and vote since I didn't know if I'd get a chance Tuesday because of my son and daughter in law's work schedules.

    It's mostly schools and churches around here at the moment, but I believe Washington state will be switching to all mail in ballots soon.

    I answered "Other" -- we vote at the county library. Actually, that's only because we early vote. If we waited til election day and voted at our actual precinct, it would be at a church, but I haven't done it that way for years, now that early voting is so much easier!

    My polling place is an elementary school. However, I voted early via absentee ballot this year.

    Just what we need in this country -- more people staying away from substantive political discourse... (Hey, I'm not trying to start anything here, OK?).

    I should have added "home" as an option for you absentee folks, but even for you I am interested in where you are directed to vote if you don't vote by mail.

    I just came back tonight from voting --provincial by-election.

    Last few years, a community centre. Other times, it was literally in my building where lived (different from where I live now), schools and ..community centres.

    Over the years I've voted in a city hall, a fire station, churches, schools, and this year by mail.

    I vote at a Mailbox.(perhaps my desk at home is more appropriate) (I'm a permanent absentee) I wouldn't go back to voting in person

    Usually, we just walk across the street to the elementary school. This year, however, because the school is being remodeled, we are going to a church. I actually preferred the Town Hall when we lived in the middle of nowhere. It just felt like we were participating in the life of the community. Everybody took their kids along, too. (And a lot of people were voting for their cousins)

    I don't think I'd like voting by mail. I like the act of going to the polling place and physically casting my vote. That may just be me.

    At the Community Center, and at a church or two. When I lived in Memphis lots of schools served as polling places. There are plenty of other options here, considering the needed number of polling places.

    I remember there being voting in my high school lobby when I was in high school, too, back in the '70s.

    I vote at the extension office which is much better than the bus garage.
