Put on comfortable shoes when you vote Tuesday.Mobile County Probate Court officials said turnout could be higher than 80 percent.
But, they have added ten new precincts in time for this election.
Election equipment was moved in to the county's 99 precincts over the weekend.
Probate Court Judge Don Davis said, "We have over 30,000 new voters in Mobile County that were registered between January 1 and October 24 of 2008."
In one case, four new polling places were carved out of one.
Many churches and recreation halls serve as polling places in Mobile.
The Mug Café is one of them.
It's actually part of the student ministry for Knollwood Church in west Mobile.
Brian Engl who runs the Mug Café said, "Anytime there's people and life in this place, I love it."
Engl spent part of Monday re-painting the cafe's walls.
Election equipment was already in place.
Engl said, "They (election workers) bring it over and I don't touch it. They bring their people and they take care of it, set it up and everything."
Still, Engl said he planned to arrive at the Mug Café at 6 am Tuesday.
He said, "I'm going to get here, make some coffee and get out."
