'Unless everybody has fair access, you don’t really represent the voice of the people' – ccnc_hbcuaction's Alyssa Canty
can make it harder for college students to cast their vote, and often leave students frustrated by the voting process. During a recent phone interview, Canty spoke with MTV News about some of the obstacles young people face when going to the polls, and what her team is doing to help excite HBCU students about participating in elections and strengthening democracy as we know it.
MTV News: How does a situation like that affect students’ ability to vote regularly and consistently?Along with potentially being in two districts from one year to the next, [students] might also vote in two different locations. That creates confusion; where you vote one year in a local election might not be your polling site when you’re voting in a mid-term or a presidential election. Trying to remember your polling site really complicates things if you live in these dorms.
Additionally, we aim to mobilize students on election day. We give them information such as: ‘If you live in this in this hall, you need to go to this polling site.’ But it’s a lot of information to give people at one time, which is why we encourage early voting.
