Most of the schools i've seen in HI have a combination cafeteria and auditorium.  I don't know how many have gymnasiums, but the floors have to be taken into consideration if voters wear street shoes/slippers on them.

Closing the schools and using the cafeteria seems to make the most sense.  Parents who normally pick their kids up after school can show up to vote instead.

I don't think i ever waited more than 20 minutes in line to vote in Mililani.  With enough polling places, the crowds can be kept to a minimum.

I was spoiled as my voting school was a 1 step off my condo property. So I would look from my lanai to see how long the line is. Then go downstairs when I'm ready. Many had to drive, but with so many schools, the parking lot was never full house.

....
The school is right across the street from my house.

It was fast and convenient. The state needs to reinstate the traditional methods.
