Transcript
00:08I'm Ashley and I'm the senior news and politics editor here at Refinery29 and
00:13today I'm registering to vote in the fastest way possible which is online.
00:17Hey guys, I'm Neann and I'm a beauty writer and host here at Refinery29.
00:21It takes me about 15 minutes on a good day to do my makeup.
00:26Today though I'm going to challenge myself to see if I can do it in under five minutes.
00:32This isn't my first time registering to vote.
00:34I was actually registered when I lived on Long Island but I've moved like three times
00:37since then.
00:38I am the senior news and politics editor and everyone would just assume I would already
00:42have done this.
00:43I'm on top of everything.
00:44But it's definitely easy to forget.
00:47I think it will take around maybe like ten minutes.
00:49Probably less time than it takes me to do my eyebrows in the morning.
00:52So I have a timer here on this phone.
00:55I set it to five minutes.
00:58I'm going to grab my makeup bag here so that I'm prepared.
01:02All I need right now is my ID.
01:04I have it right here and it should be really quick.
01:06And I'm going to press start.
01:10Okay, I'm on dmv.org and I click through to New York and now there's a huge box that says
01:18voter registration made simple.
01:19So I'm just going to click there.
01:21Okay, I'm going to start with foundation and I'm going to dot that all over my face.
01:31ID number from my driver's license.
01:35I'm just going to sweep that on, buffing it on with a Real Techniques brush.
01:3930 seconds have passed.
01:43And the document number which is the other number and letter combo on the bottom.
01:48I'm going to go in and get my concealer now.
01:51Conceal under my eyes, around my nose and any blemishes.
01:55I wish I had my glasses because I can't really see that well right now.
01:59My date of birth.
02:01Three minutes and 51 seconds remain, which is not very long.
02:09My zip code for my current address.
02:14The last four of my social.
02:16Bronze up the cheekbones.
02:18What time are we at now?
02:20Two minutes and 35 seconds.
02:21Yay.
02:22Now I just want to make sure I typed in everything correctly.
02:25Okay.
02:26Highlighter.
02:29And then I check the I agree box.
02:33Oh my God.
02:34We have one minute.
02:35And then submit.
02:37Okay.
02:37Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes.
02:38So now I'm ready to go.
02:40I'm registered to vote.
02:41I thought it would take around 10 minutes and that was super quick.
02:44Oh no.
02:46Okay.
02:47Wait.
02:47Okay.
02:47I didn't make it.
02:50But I would go out like this.
02:52Even though I didn't do my lips or my eyelashes.
02:58I think a little less than two minutes is a lot quicker than I thought it would be.
03:10So I guess I don't have a five minute routine.
03:12I have a six minute and 26 seconds routine.
03:15If you have time to do this or all of this, then you definitely have time to register to vote.
03:22And you ever make it.
03:26Even though you're ready for that, though, I'm not sure how much no taxis can work out now.
03:28You just have to get the
