Angie Nixon, Anna V. Eskamani, and Maxwell Frost led a group of approximately 60 students in a march to the early voting location at the University of Central Florida. The event was organized to encourage student voter participation ahead of the upcoming election.
Why it matters
The march aims to increase early voting turnout among the university population by providing students with the necessary information to cast their ballots. Organizers used the event to help students navigate the voting process.
