UW-Madison will host a week-long VoteFest to encourage students to vote.
The Morgridge Center for Public Services will hold VoteFest from Oct. 22-27 in an effort to encourage students to be civically involved and continue to be engaged after graduating.
A variety of events will fill the week, including an appearance by Bucky Badger — who will help students develop a voting plan at Library Mall — and a Q&A session regarding midterm elections with the Department of Political Science.
VoteFest will be held in accordance with the Big Ten Voting Challenge, a nonpartisan initiative to motivate registration and voting. UW-Madison is one of 13 schools in the conference participating in the competition.
Madison residents are able to vote early on weekdays from Oct. 22-Nov. 2 at the Student Activity Center from 10:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and Union South and Memorial Union from 12-6 p.m.
Students should have a proper photo ID to vote. For more information on voting early and other preparations for the midterm election on Nov. 6, visit vote.wisc.edu.
