Voting counts
In 2014, Brunswick candidate for the Maine House of Representatives
Ralph Tucker won the Democratic primary by 10 votes. In 2016, Maine
voters passed a referendum on marijuana legalization by a margin of less
than four thousand votes.

students voted. That means that roughly 1,450 did not exercise their con-
stitutional right to affect our country’s future. It is a margin large enough
to tighten—or even alter—election results. While this year’s midterms may
not seem as high-stakes as the presidential election, there are close races
and important ballot measures across the country.
Take Maine’s ballot as an example. Gubernatorial candidates differ on
issues that will inevitably affect students and the people we care about—
determining the extent of reproductive rights, funding the public schools
where students tutor and expanding Medicaid to 70,000 Mainers.
Over the past two years, many Bowdoin students have been enraged by
the actions of our government. The most tangible way to channel that rage
is to vote for candidates who will enact the change students desire. The very
short amount of time that it takes to vote could create meaningful changes
in your life and the lives of others.
And voting is easy. For students voting in Brunswick, the polling place is

day, campus representatives from several groups will be tabling to inform
students of their voting rights, driving students to the polls and mailing ab-
sentee ballots. If you are at all doubtful about the voting process, approach
one of these students and ask for help. No question is too simple.
Bowdoin students often say that they are uneasy about voting because
they are uninformed about issues. Staying uninformed is an active choice.
Information is accessible, and ample research takes less than an hour. Cam-
