Good point. Maybe I'll make Nov 1st my voting day.

When I go election day, there's usually no more than 2 or 3 people, in and out - couple minutes. I prefer election day to vote.

Same here.

I've never thought of it as a ritual, but I do like the idea of kinda "celebrating" our right to vote by exercising it on the same day. The danger for people like me is forgetting to do it. I'm quite forgetful for things I don't do nearly every day. Since I don't live in Chicago, I don't vote often enough for it to become habit.
