CHICAGO (CBS) -- Voting can be a right of passage for many Americans, but the process can be intimidating for those going to the polls for the first time.

"Honestly, I was kind of nervous because I never experienced anything similar to it, but it was easier than I would have expected," said John Hancock College Prep student.

The Loop Super Site is open everyday.
