Vote Early for Midterm Elections on Campus!
As the critical Nov. 6 midterm election approaches, Duke students and faculty are mobilizing to promote early voting on campus and increase student participation.
One-stop early voting begins Wednesday, Oct. 17, in the lower floor of Brodhead Center on West Campus. The ballot this election includes contested elections for the U.S. House of Representatives, state legislature and judicial seats. In addition, voters will decide six proposed state constitutional amendments that affect the tax rate, the filling of judicial vacancies, appointments to the state Board of Elections and other critical governmental responsibilities.
“Voting is the great equalizer in American politics,” said Fritz Mayer, Sanford School professor and director of POLIS: The Center for Political Leadership, Innovation and Service. “Regardless of gender or sexual orientation, regardless of race or religion, regardless of ideology or party, every voter has a say in who represents us in government.
