Lines are long because turnout is good. At least here in Park Slope. But here’s some stuff that you need to know.

If you usually vote at the John Jay High School Complex, you are voting today at PS 282 on Sixth Avenue and Lincoln Place.

When you get there, go to the special entrance for John Jay voters on Berkeley Place between Sixth and Fifth (it’s near the playground entrance).

Once inside get on line in your election district if you know it. The line for district 80 was long but the line for 78 (which covers Third Street between 6th and 7th and elsewhere) wasn’t long at all. It took me ten minutes to get in and out.

If you don’t know your election district, go to one of the information tables and find out. Then go to the proper table where you’ll get a ballot and a card with your voting number on it.  Since we’re doing paper ballots now, it was easy to find a standing desk with attached pens. But not all the desks have working pens. Bring a pen just in case. Then, bring your filled out ballot to a scanner and VOILA.

The deed is done.
