Voted about 1130am in Fairfax and didn't wait at all. The place was empty.

City of Alexandria, about 20 voters in the room when I entered at 7:30 (15 in line, 5 sitting down voting). People kept coming while I was there, but the line didn't grow any longer.

Dale City (King Elementary) ... from the time we entered the building to the time we left, maybe 2 minutes passed. There was zero wait time - no lines at any point in the process - and I can't remember that ever happening in the past. This was about 11:00 or so this morning.

This thread got a shout out from somebody on the Washington Post comments thread. So there's that.

PS to the person who read my response, in fairness its an off year election, I woke up at 6am, and I was in Tysons with only 2 people in front of me

Prince William Country (Rockledge Elementary). I was there about 6:15 a.m., two people in line, waited maybe a minute before I was called up, would have been sooner but one of the computers they had up front to check names wasn't connecting.

Voted and walked out two minutes later. Electronic machines, no issues.

When you use the paper ballot, look at the counter before and after you feed it. Be sure the number changes so you know your vote was counted.
