Photo gallery Celebrating the vote with verve
On Monday night, students gathered for a Voterpalooza event at the Rathskeller in Memorial Union, in advance of Tuesday’s presidential primary in Wisconsin. They were there to celebrate the importance of voting with live performances, informative resource tables and a welcoming community atmosphere. The nonpartisan event was sponsored by #BadgersVote, a group that gives students the knowledge and resources to actively participate in democracy. UW–Madison students have a history of strong civic participation: In the 2020 presidential election, nearly 3 out of 4 eligible students cast a vote.
