‘Go vote:’ 5C community gears up for Nov. 3 midterms
Students across the 5Cs have been gearing up for the midterm elections on Nov. 3, campaigning for local politicians, providing assistance with voter registration and staying engaged in elections from Claremont to Congress.
This semester, 5C Democrats ran three to five events each week, professors are incorporating conversations regarding the upcoming election into classes and nonpartisan clubs such as Every Vote Counts (EVC) Claremont have been tabling outside dining halls recently. Despite much of College Republicans’ leadership being abroad this fall, acting President Shiv Parihar CM ’28 stressed the importance of voting in every election.
