There were mixed reactions about the polling process and the location of the polls in the Martin Luther King Jr University Union on Tuesday.

Kiki Bachelor, a freshman philosophy major and volunteer for the election process at the union, said the location of the polls in front of the bookstore was convenient, and many students who were polled agreed.

Bachelor voted at the union earlier in the day and only had to wait about 20 minutes.

“The average wait has been 25 to 30 minutes maybe,” Bachelor said, but throughout the day lines were long as students came to cast their votes. Some people waited anywhere between five minutes to an hour and a half to get their votes in.

“I expected the line to be that long,” said Christine Fry, a freshman family and consumer sciences major. “…. I think the school handled the election well.”

Others disagreed.

“This is ridiculous,” said Karen Turner, a freshman biology pre-med major. “I feel like I’m in line for Six Flags.”

Some students said the long lines interfered with class, while others said their teachers would understand if they were late. Some students entered the wrong side of the union, thinking the polls would be set up in the Grand Ballroom.

“It would have been easier upstairs,” said Kristen Peterson, a freshman early childhood education major. “It seemed kind of cramped.”

The biggest complaint about the polling place was that it was crowded.

Jason Townsend, a senior sociology major, said the union “wasn’t too spacious.” Andrew Boyd, a sophomore accounting major, described the union as a “pretty tight space” that “needed air conditioning” because of the crowds.

Most students said the process could have been improved, but said they understood with the high turn-out, some problems were inevitable.
