Nov. 2: Register to vote, cast ballot at WSU Tri-Cities Student Engagement Hub

RICHLAND, Wash. – Individuals can cast their ballots and register to vote at the Student Engagement Hub that will be hosted Tuesday, Nov. 2, at Washington State University Tri-Cities.

A community member fills out her election ballot at the WSU Tri-Cities Student Engagement Hub. Through the hub, community members are able to register to vote, gain information about the election process and cast their ballot at the on-campus ballot drop-box.

The hub will be open from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. in Consolidated Information Center (CIC) 120 on campus.

Through the hub, which is hosted by the Associated Students of WSU Tri-Cities in partnership with the Benton County Auditor’s Office, individuals will have the opportunity to:

• Register to vote
• Check voter registration
• Print ballots and receive an election information booklet
• Access private locations to fill-out ballots
• Cast their ballots at the ballot drop-box on campus (CIC parking lot)

“The hub provides a great opportunity to access all voting information and materials all in one place,” ASWSUTC President Nathaly Mendoza said. “We are excited to offer this free resource to both WSU Tri-Cities campus community members and the public. It is important that a resource like this is offered on a college campus so that students and our community has an easy way to exercise their greatest civic duty. It’s a great way to learn more about important dates and deadlines, ensure that you’re registered and then actually cast your ballot.”

The hub is free open to the public.

The deadline to register to vote in-person, as well as cast election ballots, is Tuesday, Nov. 2 (election day).
