First timers, make sure well in advance that you are registered. And know where your polling place is. An internet search might help with that. "Am I registered in XYZ town_______"

If you receive a card in the mail about the election, take it with you when you go vote. That will make it easier for the poll workers to send you to the right line,

It might be an idea to go early. Take something discreet to eat, and something to read. Take water. It might be an idea to go so early that you are first or second to vote when the polls open. Much less crowded.

Let some friend or relative know where you are going. Later, they should vote too, of course, and you should know where they went.

I would not schedule anything important for the rest of that day, no doctor or dentist appointments, nothing serious.
