Unfortunately, long voting lines and hours-long wait times are creating delays, frustration and unsafe conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, postal service delays are causing issues with mail-in voting. With over [25 million ballots](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/10/17/long-lines-for-us-early-voting-underscore-hidden-barriers) already cast, the November 3rd election day is expected to be busy. So what can governments do to help their citizens? They need to prioritize health and safety–including shelter from increasingly cold weather–and the ability to disseminate timely information to all voters. New technology investments can encourage, and allow, more citizens to exercise their right to vote safely and easily.  [Read More](https://info.qless.com/blog/voting-lines-wait-times-qless-queue-management-solutions?hsLang=en-us) ## [Meet the Company Making Pandemic Lines Less Frustrating](https://info.qless.com/blog/meet-the-company-making-pandemic-lines-less-frustrating?hsLang=en-us) Oct 19 By [Qless Admin](https://info.qless.com/blog/author/qless-admin) | Categories: [COVID-19 Solutions](https://info.qless.com/blog/topic/covid-19-solutions), [Virtual Lines](https://info.qless.com/blog/topic/virtual-lines), [Queue Management](https://info.qless.com/blog/topic/queue-management) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.qless.com/hubfs/pexels-line-arrows-1-1280x720.jpg)](https://info.qless.com/blog/meet-the-company-making-pandemic-lines-less-frustrating?hsLang=en-us) [*Originally publish in SlashGear by Chris Davies*](https://www.slashgear.com/qless-interview-covid-19-social-distancing-digital-queue-system-19643359/) [Read More](https://info.qless.com/blog/meet-the-company-making-pandemic-lines-less-frustrating?hsLang=en-us) ## [5 Ways to Better Satisfy Customers With Queue Management Software](https://info.qless.com/blog/ways-to-satisfy-customers-with-queue-management-qless?hsLang=en-us) Sep 24 By [Qless Admin](https://info.qless.com/blog/author/qless-admin) | Categories: [Virtual Lines](https://info.qless.com/blog/topic/virtual-lines), [Queue Management](https://info.qless.com/blog/topic/queue-management), [Restaurants](https://info.qless.com/blog/topic/restaurants) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.qless.com/hubfs/restaurant-line.jpg)](https://info.qless.com/blog/ways-to-satisfy-customers-with-queue-management-qless?hsLang=en-us) There are so many [industries](https://www.qless.com/additional-industries) that draw long lines to their businesses.
