Survey says…most elect to vote early
An informal survey taken in the inaugural issue of the newly redesigned Friday eNews on Oct. 26 revealed that most district employees like to take care of business early.
Almost 70 percent of those who answered the question, “What’s your voting style this election?” picked the response, “Early. Why wait in line?”
Angela Tillman, a senior student information representative in the Federal and State Compliance Department, said she went to a polling place near her residence, in Galena Park. “There was a line out the door, but it moved very quickly,” she said. “It only took maybe 30 minutes.”
Tillman added that in years past, it has taken almost twice as long to cast her vote on Election Day. Nevertheless, slightly more than 11 percent of respondents said they would wait until Nov. 6 this year.
Just over 17 percent, meanwhile, denied having a voting style, saying, “It just depends on my schedule.”
