I just got back from voting and was curious ... How far do you travel to vote?
It is a little over 10 miles to our polling booth so around 21 miles for me.

-
2 miles round trip.
-
Almost two whole blocks, it's a grueling journey, uphill, both ways.
-
I go about 5 miles, 10 miles round trip. I could vote closer, but it is in downtown, and parking is a PITA.
eta: I voted a week and a half ago, in early voting.
-
Less than a mile.
-
Less than a mile.
300 yards.
-
2 blocks
-
About a 5 minute drive. On a side note, the laborer's union hall next door is packed this morning. Call in an airstrike. :)
-
About six miles.
There's a problem here in Nebraska, because some years ago the state legislature decided to define precincts by population, not by geographical area.
We have a county here larger than the whole state of Connecticut, that based upon population only, warrants only four precincts. This means some people have to make 120-mile round-trips to vote.
We also have several counties the size of Delaware or Rhode Island, one or two precincts.
The problem was supposed to be fixed, but I dunno if has been yet.
To their credit, the solid stalwart red citizenry of rural Nebraska, despite having to go these tremendous distances, maintain their much-above-national-average voting turnout.

About 125 feet.
We live across the street from a school. ;D
-
About a mile. There is a church in my entrance to my neighborhood. Makes it super easy.
-
Less that a mile, but there are at least 4 polling places within a mile radius, so I went to the wrong one at first.
-
We did early voting, the one we went to is about 6 miles away. It was a new place that was used for the primaries. Really convenient. Other one is about the same distance, but more people know about it. ;D
-
To the mailbox . . . but to be fair, I have to walk all the way down the driveway! ;D
(The actual polling place is at the police station which is less than an 1/8th of a mile away)
-
4 miles round trip.
-
About 300 yds. My whole island is one town, one polling place at the town hall, and we only have about 300 or so registered voters.
-
Depends which one. I did early voting at the library, which is less than a mile away. My assigned voting place is a church about 2.5 miles from home.
-
About a mile each way here......our local junior HS

About two blocks away at a church.

Was your ballot delivered in a timely manner? There were some states that didn't meet mailing the deadline......

-
1/2 mile more or less. A brisk walk usually but drove today since I had to get stuff for lunch.

A real conservative HAS to drive, just to create more carbon emissions! ;D

Yeah Texas did a good enough job of getting to my residence in Germany that my wife had time to send it to me here and I was able to send it out. It had to be postmarked no later than today. I sent it two weeks ago.
-
My voting place is about three miles away by road, probably about a mile as the crow files
-
About six miles, round trip, but today I went to vote from work (about 5 miles one-way), then went home, then back to work.
