Hey, Bobert, did you overlook pdc's question? Yes, the polls are indeed open at least 12 hours on election day, so most people can stop in and vote on their way to work or on their way home, or during their lunch hour, or vote absentee several weeks ahead. I have never had a problem. You can even vote in a different precinct if you don't mind a questioned ballot. (All that 'questioned' really means is that you will have to prove your identity, you won't be able to vote on District candidates and your ballot will be looked at more closely.)
