text: Now I had a good excuse to go to the mall I need to go for early voting n nThis polling place is located inside the mall on the first level out in front of Kohls It does not matter what precinct you are assigned to any registered voter can vote here during early vote week The lines were long but there were plenty of election monitors and the polling place here was well staffed and organized So it was a relatively a short wait in linennEveryone that I encountered was pleasant and professional As I got to the front of the line a polling assistant lead me to one of the election clerks sitting at the tables Since I took the address label from my voter ballot with me all they had to do was scan the barcode You do not have to bring your sample ballot but it does make the process move faster Verification is determined by the signature match on file birthdate and address Election clerk did not ask for any ID After signature verification I was handed a plastic card and led to the polling area From there the poll worker let me know which election monitor is availablen nThe election monitors are touch screen and are activated once you insert the card inside the machine Think ATM machinethat is how these monitors operate These screens were super sensitive I noticed Just a slight touch of the screen was all it took I followed the easy to read prompts on the monitor made my choices watched my ballot get printed and made sure it was all correct then casted my vote Voila It took about minutes total Your card ejects and as you exit just hand it to the poll worker collecting it Another poll worker handed me my I Voted sticker That is it Whole process was real easy
