HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — While many polling places moved people through quickly, some waited hours to cast their vote.
The good news? As long as you are in line by 7:00 p.m., the Secretary of State's office says you can still vote.
"I've been waiting four hours for this," says first-time voter, Emilee Kirby at West Huntsville Church of Christ.
Other voters across the county saw no lines, and were in and out in fifteen minutes, like at Little Indian Creek Primitive Baptist Church.
Kirby joins many more who had a few hours to vote. At one point the line was wrapped around the church four times, according to voters.
Voting machines were brought in so the line could move quicker.
"I feel relieved. It was almost like surreal when I was stepping in," says Kirby.
The turnout at the church was so big, voters were forced to park along nearby streets. Despite the wait, people say the experience has still been good.

One voter who recently moved to Alabama appreciates the hospitality. "People have been nice, and they've been bringing us snacks and water, and there was pizza and Krispe Kreme, so woo-hoo!," says 1st Time Alabama Voter, Jennifer Mumby.
Another voter who came home during her first year of college agrees. "It hasn't been as bad. It's kind of gone by a little fast. But yeah, we made friends with the people around us," says first time voter, Bella Powell.
Her father, William Powell, fulfilling his duties by waiting with her. He says he has to vote at another polling place. "I get to vote down the road at the other polls so, I get to wait in line twice," says Powell.
Another father and daughter duo waited in line. However, his little girl will have to wait eighteen more years or so to vote. Until then, he encourages everyone to wait.
"Still come out here, still stand in line and vote. Every vote counts in today's election," says Edward Todd.
Voters say marking their ballot is worth the wait. "Hopefully, in a couple days, weeks, years it will be worth it," says Kirby.
