BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
I’m Melissa Wright at UNO where students tell me they feel its important to get registered to vote ahead of the election.
UNO students are registering to vote. And UNO is giving them easy access to voter registration and everything they should know heading to the polls. Toni Monette an organizer says she hopes easy access motivates them.
“Getting them excited about participating in the process.. making it relatable to them with some of activities we have going on today.” said Monette.
Promise Lloyd says this isn’t her first time voting. But it is her first time witnessing a candidate she feels is relatable.
“Because this is someone that is going to be running the country. So I feel like it’s important that they are relatable and that they are touching people in different communities. Otherwise its kind of like you have no contact with them so it’s like why should I care what you’re doing if you can’t even relate to my needs and the things I think are important in my life.” said Lloyd.
