Election Day: Take a Stand

 It's the final countdown. A mere 16 hours remain until election day. This is the perfect opportunity to meet my challenge of getting involved politically. Seriously, you should be jumping out of bed at the crack of dawn tomorrow to cast your vote. Okay, not quite that early. 

 Voting begins at 7 a.m. tomorrow. Students living on campus have the convenience of voting on campus. If you are a student living on the University of Mary's campus, you should go to the Benedictine Meeting Room located in the Benedictine Center. Make sure to bring your M-Card with you, as well as another photo ID like a driver's license that can verify your age. If you are living off campus, look up which precinct you fall under and vote in the designated place. It will probably be a school, a church, or some other public gathering place. Don't forget to bring an acceptable form of identification showing your street address. This is so you can prove that you are voting in the correct precinct. The voting locations will be open until 7 p.m., so you have almost the entire day to cast your vote.
