As a new voter, what do you hope to learn from this experience?

“I don’t know much about the system yet, so I need to, first of all, be more educated, I need to do more research before I vote, but I’m just excited to see how the polls work.” – Sam Tonkon ‘25

“Research, candidates, not everyone’s going to be the best one, but as long as you like, as long as you vote, at least you have a decision. That’s kind of the point of democracy is that everyone has a decision. Don’t give up your vote, because that’s going to pick the candidate you don’t want. You have an opinion. Whether you decide you do or not, you definitely do.”  – Evelyn Seawright ‘25

“I hope to learn how like the polls work and how voting works and then like how I kind of want to do research, going into the next election, when I vote for it because like there’s more than just the presidential election. Like I vote for, it’s like the senators and stuff so yeah gotta.” – Brendan Flatow ‘25
