- Jessica Ferris (left), Social sciences student: “Yes. I feel like everyone who can vote should vote because a lot of [people in other] countries aren’t able to.” Jenna Haaf, Biochemistry student (right): “I’m planning on voting; however, I’m very unaware of the actual parties and what they stand for. So I’m kind of going in blind on minimal information, but I do believe everyone should vote if they can. But I think, in high school, they didn’t really educate us on what the parties believed in, so it’s up to the individual to learn on their own.”

- Matthew Hand, Political science student: “Of course. I think if you live in a democratic country, you have an obligation. If you’re privileged enough to live somewhere that you have the right to vote, you shouldn’t waste that opportunity. Being involved in the political discussion is an important part of being a democratic citizen.”

- Taylor Schmautz, Computer science student: “Yeah, I’m planning on voting in the federal election! I feel it’s important to vote even if just to have your voice heard in the election.”

- Katrina Hinz, Nursing student: “Uh, yeah, I think so. I feel like we have the option to vote so why not vote if we’re allowed? So many people in so many countries aren’t allowed, so if we’re given something that will affect our future, why not have your say in it?”
