In this episode, The News Feed podcasters Alycia Baker and Colleen Henneberry discuss why it’s important for people, especially young voters, to vote in the upcoming local elections.
Local elections are just around the corner on November 7: a date that not all registered voters feel is that important, but could evidently change their lives. In fact, just last year only 50% of registered voters in Virginia voted in their local elections. This can be due to a myriad of reasons, but not knowing who the candidates are is a simple excuse for something that can be easily solved with one quick internet search.
For Virginia Tech students, it’s even easier. Multiple faculty members and professors in the political field are available to help students make an informed vote and understand the policies being voted on in this upcoming election.
