We also answered voters’ questions and provided great swag from the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters! It was wonderful to connect with fellow Spartans!
It’s Election Day! The SJSU Votes team is busy and excited. The team was at the on-campus vote centers handing out individual hand sanitizers Oct 31-Election Day. Today the lines got longer and poll workers kept the vote centers safe for voters. Tonight is the SJSU Votes! Election Results Watch Party (co-sponsored with Pi Sigma Alpha) at 5:30pm.

The SJSU Votes! Student Forum on the November election and the American political system included a panel discussion with panelists from SJSU Votes! (Elijah Hayek, Isaiah Newman, Maureen Dela Cueva, and Lawrence Deng), and from A.S. Lobby Corps (Kadence Sky Walker). Panelists offered informative responses to questions on multiple political topics. The open forum section of the event brought excellent discussion from the attendees. It was another successful SJSU Votes! event! Thank you to all who attended and to the SJSU Votes! team.
Thank you to candidates Ann Ravel and Dave Cortese for an exciting and informative forum! Voters learned a great deal about both candidates. Thank you to our moderator Damian Trujillo.

Questions focused on initiatives in general and the November ballot propositions specifically. What a great event!
