Sunday was the last day of early voting in New York.
Many voters who spoke with News 12 crews outside Will Library in Yonkers said they were thrilled to take advantage of the opportunity.
"It's much quicker, it's easier," said Hugh Cummings.
"I want to get it done [and] just be relieved [that] it's over, said Melanie Campion.
Phil Pian even brought his kids with him to cast his ballot early. He said they waited "about 40 minutes" in line at the library.
News 12 crews also asked some of the early voters how they were feeling about the election season.
"There's a lot of voter enthusiasm out there," said Frank Jereis.
"Well, it is what it is, actually," said Cummings.
Some of the people said they were feeling stressed about everything.
"The chaos, the uncertainty," Campion said.
"You hear and see a lot of things that are and aren't true and you don't know what to believe," said Dylan Nicaj.
Dr. Stephen Ferrando, from Westchester Medical Center, gave some tips about how ease some of these anxieties.
"One thing is lack of overexposure to media and doing other healthy things that support your baseline mental health," he said.
The doctor suggested socializing, exercising and keeping a good diet and sleep schedule.
