The event will walk students through the process of voting in a presidential election and address questions on the upcoming election, including whether you are eligible to vote in North Dakota or Minnesota, if you can vote near campus or if you need to vote absentee, whether you want to vote by mail, what documents you need to bring with you to vote and what you aren't allowed to say or do in or near a polling place.
Cass County voting officials will be in attendance to ensure that questions about voting in North Dakota get precise and up-to-date answers. Those voting in Minnesota also will receive help registering, finding a polling place and applying to vote absentee or by mail.
Upcoming PoliTALKS: Community discussions led by NDSU political science faculty include:
· October 9: The 2024 Election
· October 23: North Dakota State Politics
