I've been over 18 for 4 years, but, because of going to college out of state, this will be my first time going to an actual voting booth, and I'm really excited, like I'll be voting for the first time.

What about you guys? Any first time voters? For those who've been voting for a few years, how was your first time? And for those who live outside of the US, what is voting like where you live?

I voted for the first time by absentee ballot in the February primary. Over the summer I actually went to the polls to vote in the local primary, and again for a runoff. I'll be absentee voting again in November.

I was so annoyed in the fall of 2006 when some of my friends were old enough to vote but forgot to register, while I wanted to vote but was still 17.

I hated filling out those absentee ballots. So many little bubbles to fill in for each issue. Like taking a goddamn standardized test.
