The biggest civic engagement event of the year was on full display at Voterpalooza on Tuesday, Oct. 1.
Designed to promote civic engagement and increase voter turnout at UW–Madison for the Nov. 5 presidential election, Voterpalooza was an opportunity to engage students in music and the arts, build community in the Madison area, support cultural enrichment and most importantly, promote civic engagement.
Featured local musicians and student artists included: Jexizis (featuring Toshi.splus, Josiah!, Kai Kurokawa, and breezo2xx), Boxing Day, DEEP DIVE, Madison Youth Poet Laureate and Justin Festge Russell.
“It was a wonderful opportunity for students and community members to learn about voting and civic engagement, support local student musicians, register to vote and prepare to be informed and active citizens,” Voter Engagement Intern Kayley Bell says.
If students are still looking for in-person voter registration events, they can visit any of these locations Tuesdays and Thursdays through Oct. 15 and register with City of Madison election officials.
