lines aren't so long thus increasing likelyhood of voting. It can speed up the process. It increases voting opportunity. It allows people to bank their votes early. It allows campaigns to start turnout strategies early to bank definite votes for their candidates early.
It increases voter participation. There are MANY reasons for it.
