we livinggereil wweu.edu Taking Part! Voting is Responsibility, Not Just Right, Choice By Jessica Jarrard | WC Apathy among voters between the ages of 18 - 25 is a serious problem in the United States. For whatever reason, college age students do not vote in significant numbers. Some argue it is because they do not understand the election process and are afraid to go to the polls without knowing exactly what to do. Some argue that they do not feel like they know enough about the candidates running to make an educated decision. Others feel like their single vote does not matter in the grand scheme of things, or they just do not care about politics. The election process is a simple one. First, you fill out a voter registration form, which can be picked up in various places on campus including the library, the UC or the Political Science office. In North Carolina, the application requires basic information like name, address, date of birth, drivers license number, etc. You may only register in the county in which you reside. However, as a student, you may register here in Jackson County. If you are currently registered in your home county, but would like to be registered in Jackson County, you fill out the same form. Instead of filling out Part C of the application which is for new registered voters, you fill out Part B which cancels your registration in one county (or state) and moves it to another. After that, the county Board of Elections will mail you a card and information on how and where to vote. If you have any questions about your location, call the Board of Elections. They will direct you to the polls in your precinct. If you feel like you are unsure of whom to vote for because you dont know anything about the candidates or their platforms, there are plenty of ways to find out. The College Republicans and College Democrats on campus have information about the candidates who are running, especially those within this area. If they do not have information on the candidates, they do know how to find it for you. Also, most candidates have web pages. They are selling themselves to the public and are trying any and every avenue to get their names out there to their constituents, which includes college age students. After the 2000 presidential election, it is hard to understand why anyone would think that one vote doesnt matter. It was then that Americans realized just how important one vote could be in an election. Fighting apathy among college age students is probably the hardest battle to fight. Ifa student doesnt care about politics, its hard to talk them into voting. The goals of organizations like the Student Association of Government and Legal Affairs (SAGLA) along with the College Democrats and College Republicans is to teach students the importance of being involved in politics and encourage them to get involved. Information concerning the voting schedule for North Carolina has recently changed. The new schedule is as follows: 2004 Altered Election Schedule Filing for Candidates Opens April 26-Closes May 7 [Ballot preparation 23 days] Absentee Voting begins May 31 Primary Election July 20 [Canvass July 27] Second Primary, if needed, August 17 [Canvass August 24] [Ballot preparation 19 days] Absentee Voting begins September 13 General Election November 2 It is very important for college students to vote. Many students feel that politicians dont care about the youth of America. The truth is, politicians care about their constituincy that VOTES. If citizens between the ages of 18 and 25 would vote more, politicians would be much more inclined to listen to what they have to say, so get involved!
