10 minutes might be the average, as even my backwards Republican controlled state has moved to vote by mail. I get the ballot, do a quick internet search on people or issues I don't understand, and move on with my day in less time than that typically. As a bonus, mail ballots are far easier to audit and recount than those ridiculous electronic voting machines which print the voter's choices next to the non-human readable QR code which is actually used for counting.
I don't have experience in states which put up barriers or hours of waiting in line for in-person and mail voting, and I admire those who put up with that shit
