What's the longest you've ever had to wait in line to vote? Where in the world?

Me: Ireland - Approximately 2 minutes until poll in hand is the longest.

I've been seeing long lines for the US elections even for early voting. Seems completely unnecessary.

  • My first presidential election was in 1980. I waited almost six hours to vote for Jimmy Carter in Iowa City, Iowa, USA (a medium-sized college town).

    It was surprisingly festive. There were people walking the line handing out water and snacks. There were several musicians performing at various points along the line.
