University of Wyoming residence hall and Greek housing students can take advantage
of free rides to vote at the American Heritage Center for Tuesday's general election.
Safe Ride vans will depart from outside the Washakie Dining Center from 9:30 a.m.-6
p.m.
The wait for vans should not exceed 10 minutes, depending upon demand. Students are
encouraged to wait inside the Washakie Dining Center by the Pokes Vote banner to stay
warm, says Corey Peacock, AmeriCorps intern with UW's Service, Leadership, & Community
Engagement (SLCE) Office. SLCE and Safe Ride sponsor the free service.
Students who are not yet registered in any district may register on-site on Election
Day. Information on polling places for off-campus students can be accessed at www.co.albany.wy.us/poll-locator.aspx.
The rides are offered as part of Pokes Vote, a nonpartisan effort to register UW students
to vote, inform them about their voting choices and election procedures, and encourage
them to go the polls on election day.
