Word from chat groups and social media posts are all saying that locally -- within Metro Vancouver -- most advanced polling stations are a gong show. They all seem fairly understaffed. One advanced polling station near me (located at a smaller community center) has 1 person on staff doing the verification work. Another advanced polling station that is also near me, located at a bigger community center, has all of 3 staff doing the verification work. And somehow, it seems like the checking and voting process is slow and extra laborious this time around.

The end result of all this is -- I've only heard of people being able to get in and out in ~30 min at the quickest, and that happened first thing in the morning when the polling station opened. The majority of people seem to need anywhere between 1 - 2 hours.

For an election as important as this, the wait time is an absolute disaster.

Is it too late to request for a mail in ballot now? I gotta look into this very, very soon. I can't afford to wait 2 hours in line to do this.
