With upcoming elections, a student group is working to ensure other students participate in the vote over spring break.
Coalition members will register students to vote and help them request absentee ballots at tables in Memorial Union and Union South from noon until 2 p.m. and at Gordon’s Commons from 6 until 8 p.m. all week.
The vote which will take place April 3, will be for the presidential primary race, county executive board and local judges.
Vote Coalition founder Hannah Somers said students need to request absentee ballots in order to participate in the vote if they plan to leave Madison over spring break.
“It’s really important that students request their absentee ballot because the process is really complicated and we want to make sure that everybody is able to vote in the April 3rd election,” Somers said.
