So because ALL Beyonders will be voting today, I'm curious to see just how busy it was (or wasn't) in various parts of town. Please state where & when you voted and how busy the polling station was.

Chaparral Community Centre around 10:45, had to wait about five minutes.

I'm expecting a frustrating delay, simply because I assume that many of us won't be voting until peak hours after business today.

Didn't realize I had to go to my specific Voting station, just though I could go to any in the ward.

Went to Harvest Hills Alliance Church,
they told me to go to Ascension Parish,

both places were pretty much empty, no lines.

This was about half an hour ago. (1:15)

I hope Chaparral is good when i get off work. I should probably walk from my place instead of getting in that parking nightmare there

If you're going after work, walk. They've got it set up in the lower level of the building and it's lined up out the door & up the stairs if there's any more than five or six people waiting. A VERY poor set up. I wish they would've used one of the schools.

Voted in Bridlewood, waited in a 20 minute out the door of the building line up. I have NEVER stood in line to vote before, so this was really awesome to see!

WTG Calgary! :thumbsup:

MacEwan is insane, lines curled around and out the door. Broken into 4 alphabetical lines but apparently 80% of MacEwan has last names starting with A-E or F to L. The S-Z line never had more than 10 people in it the entire time I was there.

Also came home to find robocall #30 from Sean Chu on my VM from 6pm. I thought he would finally leave me alone at least on election day.

Haysboro Elementary around 7pm.

I waited in line for about 10min but those with last names starting with 'H' or higher had to wait longer as their line was triple the length of the 'A to G' line.

Ballot box was stuffed full.

I just drove by the polling station by my house 10 minutes ago and there was still people coming out. Pretty crazy turnout.

I only had to wait about 15 minutes when I voted at about 6pm but as I was leaving the lineup was at least 2x as long.
