497 turnout
rises slightly
RESULTS from page 1
vice presidential race with 6f |grcent
of the vote, followed by KEG’s 33 per
cent.
Even with this year’s increase,
voter turnout still lingered below 10
percent. Reasons for the continued low
student-voter participation vary. Some
students said they didn’t vote because
they weren’t clear on either the party
candidates or their stances.
Freshman theater major Hayley
Morinelli said she did not vote because
she did not feel she knew enough about
each party’s views.
“A pamphlet with names on it
doesn’t really tell me much about the
party’s ideas,” she said.
Nebraska Union polling site leader
Nikki DeFrain agreed that many stu
dents weren’t aware of the issues be
ing considered on the ballots.
“Many students, especially those
living off campus, don’t know the stu
dents that are running for the offices,”
DeFrain said. “Many of the students
voting seem to be here to support their
greek organizations.”
Some students who did vote veri
fied DeFrain’s assumption.
“I am voting today to support the
people that are in my sorority house
that are running,” sophomore business
major Melanie Schultz said, after vot
ing at Nebraska Union.
But Abby Rogers, freshman bio
logical sciences major, said she went
out to vote because she thought it was
important for students to be actively
involved in the university.
“It’s important to show that you
have interest in university issues,”
Rogers said. “Sometimes students get
a bad rap for not caring about their
school. If they vote, they can prove that
they do care.”
