Zach smiled as he saw Amoroso took a seat after placing his vote. He seemed to be there to make sure they are doing the right thing. He nodded at him and said, "How are you doing today, Ian?"

Shaking his head slightly to himself, the DMLE Head stepped up to the line and offered his Ministry I.D. and his wand to the young junior undersecretary. "McMillan," he nodded to show he remembered the guy's name. Ian Amoroso was here too, huh. "Amoroso," Wes also nodded to him. "How's it going?" The man had been busy this year.

Roxanne had hurried over to vote herself after posting the notice on the DERP bulletin board to do so. But after catching sight of the garishly decorated booths and table, she started to wish that she hadn't. Who thought that actually looked good?! And it wasn't the color she objected too, since she actually kind of liked the color pink. It was the fact that it was SHINY VELVET. Who used shiny or velvet materials at a serious occasion? Or even together at all ever?

Getting over just barely the decor, she recognized the two people in front of her. "Hello Wes, Sky," she greeted, giving each of them a nod. "Nice decorations, huh?" That last bit was said with a bit of a smirk. She pulled out her wand and Ministry I.D. and held them out to the Board of Elections worker, taking the offered ballot.

In the end, she managed to allocate votes to some candidates. They weren't all awful after all.

She'd have stayed to chat, but chat was not her thing. Bye dudes and dudettes.

Back to workkk....

Hopefully some of her employees would come vote too, because they hadn't really been doing a lot recently. Heading into the atrium, she wandered over to the polling location. It looked kind of busy already. Ahh. There was her husband. Great minds thought a like clearly.

Ahh. Roxanne was here too. MLE reunion or something? "Morning..." She murmured to all of them, before she offered her wand, and ID over to the person.

She didn't have any children at present, but she did have a sister employed at Hogwarts and she had another sister who had two children. And even if Pao had withdrawn from Hogwarts after his first year, that didn't mean the same would be for TiaMarie.

Removing her wand and identification, she presented it at the long wooden table waiting to be checked in. Surely this voting thing wouldn't take too much of her time. She had models and space experiments to return to . . .

Definitely. Too many. People.

This was why he opted to get there when most of the rush would have already died down. Less people to smile at and far less people to not appreciate him for all he was; all his brilliance.

He was more than a little apprehensive disappointed when he saw that so many people were still there. He just wanted to vote and leave...but he'd be the odd one out if he didn't say hello...wouldn't he. SIGH. He looked around at the others there and gave them a nod and something that could be mistaken for a smile if you turned all the lights off and remained blindfolded. That was hello. Couldn't they tell?

So here she was. Cora beamed at all the other employees also in line while she waited, then handed over her wand and identification once she'd reached the front. Then she took them back plus a ballot slip, and made her way into a booth. It wasn't long until she was back out once more and submitting her ballot. And then she continued on, heading back for level 3.

But she did do her homework before coming so she was fairly certain about whom she was going to vote for.

With that in mind, she stepped up to the table and handed off her wand and identification card. Once she was handed the ballot slip, she headed over to a voting booth and made her choices.

That done-- she returned to the table and submitted her ballot. She gathered her things and said a quiet "thank you" and "goodbye" (no reason why not to treat them with respect--they must be sitting here for hours already), before heading back to level three and her work.


Zach then looked at the people and told then to queue up properly and be prepared to present their wand and Ministry IDs.

He then smiled at everyone and reminded them to "Vote wisely" nodding at them as they are reminded to mind their votes.
