10 Weird Polling Stations Around the Country

This is a major election year. It is your civic duty to vote. When you do, is it at a school or public building, or one of these more eccentric polling stations?

In one Los Angeles precinct, voters went to a swimming pool, with curtained booths set up just inches away from the shallow end.


That’s not even the weirdest one in L.A. One precinct conducts voting inside of a kids’ play area at a McDonald’s franchise.


Patrons of the Sue Nueva Laundromat in Chicago couldn’t get the chore done, as voting booths were blocking the dryers at this polling station.


On San Francisco’s famous Haight Street, the voting station is the lobby of a bed-and-breakfast.


The Gordies Fountation Barber School in Chicago teaches the Windy City’s future barbers, and also hosts voters on Election Day.


Across town, the waiting room of a used car dealership serves as a precinct for some voters.


If you live in Manhattan Beach, California…congratulations! Also, you had to vote at the lifeguard station, right next to the sand and surf.


The Frontier Harley-Davidson store in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska, is the area’s top motorcycle dealer, as well as a polling place.


Varnville, South Carolina, has a population scarcely over 2,000 people, so there aren’t a lot of public places. That’s why resident Vincent Smith offers up his living room as a polling station. (In the also small Brunson, South Carolina, voters vote in a resident’s garage.)
