 We are back at UVM to ask people if they know what word they're in and if they're voting. And if they don't know, we came prepared today to let them know. Alright, come with us. What's your name? Becca. Nice to meet you. Do you happen to know what word you live in in terms of elections? I definitely don't. Oh, are you registered to vote in Vermont? No. Oh. You can look at though. Oh, so you don't think you'll be voting for this important election coming up? Well, if you convince me of its importance, maybe I'll switch to being registered in Vermont. Oh, and you can do same-day registration like as the voting day, so. Do you know? Yeah, me too. Well, do you mind sharing what street you live on? South Williams. South Williams, oh my gosh. So, if we look right here, you are in Ward 8. Oh, great. And Ward 8, you vote at? Oh. Fletcher Free Library, same as me. It's right on College Street. Yeah. I love it there. Alright, there's a historic mayoral election this time coming around, Tuesday, March 5th. It's really important because not a lot of students get out there and vote. In Ward 8, I just found out only around 400-something people voted, and there's like 4,000 people in the entire ward. So yeah, you can register on the same day, and then if you're going home to vote for, like, I'm just like rambling now, if you're going home to vote in Connecticut, you can always re-register there. So, I am not registered to vote, but I'm from Connecticut, and I'm trying to decide whether to register here in Vermont or Connecticut. Alright, well, this is a pretty big election. It's obviously up to you, but you can register same day, and here's a little thing about town meeting TVs. On March 5th, we're doing live election coverage, and now you know where to vote and what ward you're in, which is helpful anyway because, you know, you live here. Thanks so much. I'll definitely look into it. To vote in Vermont? Not in Vermont. No. Where are you registered to vote? New Jersey. Oh, interesting. Do you know what ward you live in? In Vermont? No. Are you willing to share what street you live on? We can let you know. Yeah, sure. I'm on Pearl Street. Oh, Pearl Street. Cool. What side is it toward? Is it on the left side of the street? If you're here? Is it on the left side or the right side? Okay. You are in Ward... Oh, no. You're in Ward 3. Nice. Oh. You're in Ward 3, and the voting location for Ward 3 is Sustainability Academy on 123 North Street. We're just letting you know there is a historic election coming up, and you can register in Vermont even the day of. It's a big mayoral campaign. Yeah, so if you're interested, if you're living here for a while longer, it might behoove you to register in Vermont, but we're just writing the word because not a lot of students know where they live. Yeah. That's great. Thank you. Thank you. What street do you live on if that's not too personal? South Union. Oh, South Union. I'm on North Union. Oh, I think you're in Ward 8. It depends how far down you are. Like... Oh, awesome. And Ward 8, the voting location is Fletcher Free Library on College Street. Sweet. I voted there before. Let's go. Okay, awesome. Yay. Thanks. What about you? Do you know? I live on South Manuski, on the lakeside of South Manuski. Lakeside, South Manuski. I don't think you suck. Oh, this is interesting. It's the best we can do. We went on South Manuski. No, you're good. It's totally okay. Maple, church. It looks like I'm in Ward 6. Ward 6. So exciting. So you're... Oh, also fun. Your voting location is Edmunds Middle School, right on Main Street. Oh, that's huge. I live right by there. Yay. Well, that's probably why. All right. Thank you guys so much. How can I say? Yeah, you can introduce yourself if you'd like. My name is Merrick Broderick. I'm running for Burlington City Council in Ward 8 with the Vermont Progressive Party. I'm here at the YDSA table with my team. And I guess we're here to talk about why it's important for people, especially UVM students and students at large in Burlington, why you should vote. I think it's important because we're in this city for four years. And especially at UVM, you're being sent off campus in two years. You only have housing for your first two years. So you have to go out into a housing market and fully ingratiate yourself into the city. So I don't see why you shouldn't feel obligated to take part in the running of your city government. So I think it's very important for you to get registered to vote. You can register any day up until the same exact day of the election. And if you've gotten a mail-in ballot and you're already registered, send that in. Put it at the Dropbox at City Hall and just get out and vote. Thank you. Thanks for talking guys. Okay. We're wondering if you know what word you live in in terms of elections? What word? What word? Like you vote. There are eight words and it's like divvied up the city and that is different city counsellors per word are running. I do not know. Okay. Well, do you mind sharing what street you live on? We have a map right here to let us know. Sure. In, I live on campus. Oh, awesome. I live in Dorm. Yeah. I live in the lofts. Oh, Redstone. Mm-hmm. So Redstone is, where is it? Redstone is Ward 6, I believe. And Ward 6 votes at Edmund Middle School right on Main Street. Are you registered in Vermont? I am not. I'm getting that. I'm getting that. I'm going through the process. Oh, you're going to get registered? Are you registered, like, at home? Yes, I am. Oh. What state is that? Virginia. Oh, cool. Well, you can register in Vermont at any time, even the day of, and it's the first mayoral election in 12 years, so that's why it's kind of important. We're just wondering if you know what ward you live in, in Burlington, like the eight wards? Um, no. Awesome. Well, don't worry, because we have a map right here. If you wouldn't mind sharing, like, what street you live on? Well, I am on campus. Are you on campus or off campus? I'm on campus. Awesome. What dorm? Harris and Millis. Oh, I lived there for two years. You're in Ward 8. Ward 8. And Ward 8 votes at the Fletcher Free Library, which is right down on College Street. Are you guys registered in Vermont? Not yet. Oh, well, you can register even the day of, even if you just show up. You can register and vote. And we're just spreading the word, because not that many students vote. And it's the first mayoral election in 12 years, so it's pretty cool. And there's rank choice voting this time around, which is just voted in last spring. And that means, like, you rank them, so, like, you get more of a choice, rather than, like, your person just being out. Yeah. Oh, what about you? Are you also in...? I'm 16 years old. Oh, my gosh, welcome! I wouldn't have known, to be honest. Am I? Is it rolling? Can you tell we're getting the hang of things over here? Oh, can you tell we're getting the hang of it? Do you happen to know what ward you live in? I was just wondering if you guys know what ward you live in. Like, there are eight wards in Burlington, in terms of elections. Cool. Are you on campus? Yes. Which dorm? I live in New York. Ward 8. Ward 8. And Ward 8 votes at Fletcher Free Library. Are you, um... Sorry, I need to come... Are you registered in Vermont? Yes, I am. Oh, perfect! Well, you know, town meeting day's coming up, historic election. I'm very excited to vote. Yay! Okay, awesome. Well, now you know where to vote, Fletcher Free Library. Cool. How about you? Do you live on campus? No, I live off campus. Oh, cool. Do you mind... Do you know what ward you live in? No. Oh, cool. I have a map. What street do you live on? U-Tarris. U-Tarris? Where the heck is that? It's right across from the Davis Center. Oh! Where are we? Sorry, I can't even read maps. We're, like, here. This map is... Wait, where is the campus? That's, like, U Heights. This is University Place, so, like, right there is, like, all of those. Oh. So you might be in Ward 6. Maybe. I'm, like, literally... Unfortunately, though, I'm registered with Massachusetts. Oh, so was I. I'm registered in Vermont. Just because I think Vermont might need us a little bit. That's very... I think in Ward 8. If you're in Ward 8, you might have to double-check, because it just gets a little, like, cloudy there. But it's really easy. There's a map you can zoom all the way into. I just felt like Vermont kind of needed my vote. Apparently, only 400 people voted in Ward 8 last year, and there's 4,000 people in Ward 8. Not really? Oh, gosh. So we're trying to get out on campus. Just letting you know. We'll vote in both places. Yeah. We'll vote in the, like, presidential election, for example, in both. But you can do the individual election vote. Exactly. Thank you. Here. There you go. Yeah. What about you? Do you know what ward you're in? I'm in U Heights as well. Oh, cool. So Ward 8, Fletcher Free Library. Are you registered in Vermont? I don't think so. All right. You could do it. It's really easy. You could even do it when you show up to vote. Oh, word. Yeah, same day. All right. Thank you, guys. That's really nice. Yeah. Super nice out.
