Where I grew up we voted in the neighborhood, a school cafeteria, church basement, someone's garage, etc., after spending time in Alaska I am thoroughly impressed with their system. My friend is from Southeast Alaska, goes to school in Fairbanks, and she told me every single polling place in the state has every single ballot for every town, village, city, borough and so on. They set up on the UAF campus but you can vote at any place in the state, it is a scantron sheet, and they read it and the results are electronically sent to Juneau.

I was just double checking the hours for voting tomorrow, and we've joined the 20th century? We have optical scan voting, YAY!!!!! But there's some issue when I checked online which precinct I'm in. Their map doesn't jive with the information on the form, and it isn't a type either. Good thing regardless of the precinct I vote in the same place.
