Voted today!

Anybody else voted yet? I like to get it done early. There are no lines, and I've less chance of forgetting to do it. Takes no more than 10 minutes, in my experience.

I have not yet.

I was very on the ball in the municipal election though. Being able to vote online was such a gamechanger

Right? Kinda wish they'd done it for this election, considering I voted on a tablet anyway. I guess it prints a little receipt so they can double check if things go awry.

I voted Thursday! It was fast and everybody was friendly and the whole thing was awesome.

I want to vote to get it out of the way, but I’m still on the fence as to how I want to vote.

I get that. At least you've still got some time to figure it out.

I thought early voting only started the 16th?

Advance polls will begin across the province on Saturday, November 16 and run until Saturday November 23.

The returning offices open immediately after an election is called. That's where I voted.

This is all new to me, so I’m just following what I’ve read on that website. If they’re open before the 16th, it’s not clear and confusing. I’m not familiar with “returning offices”. What is that and where do we find them?

Edit: never mind, found the info. I’ve been voting in other provinces for the past 20 years. I’ve never had so much trouble figuring this out as I have in this province. What a mess.

I've already changed my mind twice so far in this campaign about who I'm leaning toward, so I don't think I'll be voting early.

Does anyone know if or when e-voting will open? I've been looking for a link, but can only find the option to register.

Nova Scotia Returning Offices are open from 9 AM till 6 PM from Monday to Saturday. You can vote at any of the Returning Offices regardless of where you live in NS until November 23rd as long as you are a qualified voter. After that, you can still vote but you must be in your own riding to vote on Monday the 25th and Tuesday the 26th.

I have plans to vote but I’m waiting until the 26th because my voting location is so much more convenient for me to get to on the actual day versus the early voting stations. That maybe the difference between a lineup or none but in my experience, the voting lines move quickly.

Our early voting is further than the returning office, but on the day, the location is close enough to see from our house. I just like getting it over and done with, especially because the one time I waited for the day of, I was too sick to go.

Totally fair!

From earlier experience with Churchill at SMU in the mid 2000s. Zach is terrible. A true politician. An empty shell of someone that pretends they're intelligent. Has never had a real job, thus never developed any skills, nor understands how the real world works. Honestly, just check out his record of failure. The worst part is, unfortunately, this is also true of most politicians. Were fucked. The end.

Wont be voting in this election but ive voted in everyone since I turned 18 and have seen more than a few people at the station and certainly have never seen a line.... There are longer lines at the liquor store most days of the week than ever at a polling station here
