![NEWS | UA Vote Everywhere tabled around campus to help students register to vote on Tuesday, which was National Voter Registration Day.
There were three booths on campus, located at the Quad, Shelby Hall and the Student Center. Each offered news on important deadlines, information about absentee ballot voting for the campus’ many out-of-state students, and websites students could visit to register to vote.
Vote Everywhere is an initiative started by the Andrew Goodman Foundation to help get college students to vote.
Daniel Lynn, a junior chemistry major and UA ambassador for the AGF and Vote Everywhere, said the foundation — a nonpartisan nonprofit — honors Andrew Goodman and two other civil rights workers who were killed by Ku Klux Klan members in 1964 while they were registering Black voters in Mississippi.
“I think [voting is] really important because it’s our way of telling our government how we feel, if we’re content with how things are going, or if we think that there needs to be change,” Lynn said. “I know a lot of young people feel that the people representing us don’t understand our issues, and I think that whenever more young people come out to vote, it’s a way to make our voices heard, and the politicians actually listen to what we’re trying to say.”
