How far apart are polling stations from each other in the US? How far do you generally need to go?

In rural areas, they can be quite far.  In the city, my neighborhood, all voters are within 3 city blocks of each other.

In PA, they are based on population and municipality.  You can have some some municipalities with less than 50 voters, but they will be in the same area.

In sparsely populated areas, in theory, it could be a 20 minute drive.  In the city, it can be a 5 minute walk.

A few city precincts might have a few thousand voters, but most have, at most, maybe, 500-600 voters.

I have always been able to walk to mine.  They have really nice people who spend 13 hours for about $200.00 to manage them.
