[EL] time at the polling booth

[Pildes, Rick]

Does anyone know of data about how much time voters typically spend casting their ballots in the actual polling booth?  I'm sure this varies depending on how many races/issues are on the ballot, particularly in states that have a number of ballot initiatives to vote on in certain years.  I'm aware of the good piece by Dan Smith and Michael Herron in Electoral Studies, but that's based on one polling place in a low turnout election in NH.

I assume most voters spend less than five minutes, but I'd appreciate any information that might be out there, whether empirical studies or even good anecdotal reporting.

Thanks.

Best,
Rick
