PEOPLE HAVE STARTED casting their votes in the 2012 US Presidential elections, after polls began opening around the country.
In Virginia, polls opened at 6am, with the Times-Dispatch reporting that people had complained about long lines at two of the Richmond precincts.
Some voters complained about problems checking in voters, while others said lines were at a standstill. Voting concludes at 7pm.
In New Jersey, meanwhile, one polling station opened 40 minutes late, the International News reports. There are a number of makeshift polling stations set up in New Jersey after it was badly struck by Superstorm Sandy last week.
Voter turnout was heavy in several of the storm-ravaged Jersey Shore towns, with many voters expressing relief at being able to vote at all, said AP.
