SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — For some voters, this will be their first time casting a ballot.
20-year-old Nolan Ferri is planning to cast a ballot on Tuesday.
The Augustana student is excited to vote for the first time.
“Especially this year. I don’t know if it’s because I’m the age of voting, but it just feels like everything is more intense, ramped up, and there’s a lot of pressure,” Ferri said.
Anna Soderborg is also looking forward to it, but the 18-year-old is a little nervous.
“I don’t really know how the whole process works yet, but I know where I’m going, so we’ll figure it out,” Soderborg said.
Both students say Amendment G is important to them.
It would establish a constitutional right to an abortion under a trimester framework in South Dakota.
“Obviously I care about nationally too, but the whole thing with Amendment G and everything, that’s really important to me, women’s rights,” Soderborg said.
“I think for me in the past couple of years, especially coming to college, my faith has grown a lot and so my opinions on certain things has as well,” Ferri said.
