Dear Panthers,
In our nation, casting your ballot on Election Day is an important part of our democratic process. A presidential election year marks an especially pivotal moment in our country鈥檚 history and future.
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3
With no classes planned on that day, I encourage you to get out and vote鈥攚hile staying mindful of COVID-19 safety precautions to maintain social distancing and wear a mask. If you can鈥檛 vote in person this year, absentee voting is an option.
Voting is your opportunity to choose the leaders who will debate and drive policy for issues of great significance to us all鈥攊ncluding the economy, environment, foreign relations, healthcare, immigration, civil rights, U.S. Supreme Court appointments and more.
