BOSTON – Voters across the country have spent the last two weeks voting early but some Massachusetts residents said they wanted to wait to cast a ballot on Election Day.
Excited to vote on Election Day
Violet Jenkins is a student at Suffolk University and will be voting for the first time on Tuesday.
“I didn’t vote early so I am going to vote tomorrow,” she said. “I have a right to vote and I want to use that and go out there and give my opinion because in the next couple of years, I am going to be buying a house, graduating school, and getting a real job and I want to have a say in my future.”
Over the course of the last several weeks, voters have described a kind of fatigue from this election cycle. Whether it is from the noise of social media, non-stop political texts, or tense conversations among their friend groups or family.
“Everyone I talked to today and over the last couple of weeks doesn’t really know how it is going to go,” said Erik Linden of Boston. “I kind of just want to get the day over with and just go from there and see what we can accomplish as a country after that.”
