As of Tuesday at 8 p.m., 7,396 D.C. residents had made their way to One Judiciary Square to cast an early ballot in the 2016 elections, per the D.C. Board of Elections.

The option to vote early has been available since Saturday morning, and on October 28 will expand to eight other early voting centers throughout the city until November 4. Voters can also register at the early voting centers. The hours are 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

DCBOE says that the opening day on October 22 marked a new record in early voting in the District. “Over 2,500 voters came to Judiciary Square on Saturday alone,” says spokesperson Tamara L. Robinson. “In previous years, the record has been between 2,000 and 2,100. We’ve had a steady stream of voters since then.”

In total, 11.79 percent of total votes during the 2012 general election were cast early.

In addition to casting a ballot for president and a handful of (mostly uncompetitive) local political positions, don’t forget to turn over the page for the advisory referendum on statehood. (WAMU has good explainer about the statehood vote’s nitty-gritty.)

And now to the real question I know you’re all asking: is it legal to take a photo of your ballot to blast all over social media? After crooner Justin Timberlake snapped a shot of himself inside a Tennessee voting booth, it highlighted the patchwork of laws countrywide regarding ballot selfies.

In D.C., there’s no law that says you can’t take a picture of your ballot (and indeed, courts have deemed such laws a violation of free speech in a number of states).

However, DCBOE discourages it, according to Robinson, because it can be a distraction and they don’t want anything to interfere with the integrity of the ballot.

In Virginia, ballot selfies are also legal, though Maryland bans electronic devices in polling places, per Vox. Early voting in Maryland begins on October 27.
