Equal access matters: Florida students turn out at on-campus early voting locations in 2018 paid civicnation
This newly expanded access to on-campus voting was in large part due to the persistence of young leaders, like Megan Newsome, and the voting rights organizations that empowered them.
These twelve early voting locations became a reality because Megan Newsome, then a student at the University of Florida, recognized that students’ lack of early voting access on her campus—and on campuses across Florida—was unacceptable.
She knew that the Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner’s interpretation of the current law, which banned early voting locations from campuses, was not fair for students. What she didn’t realize was that the secretary was in violation of the 26th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees the unabridged right to vote to citizens eighteen years of age or older. Her op-ed, a last-ditch awareness effort in her multi-year advocacy campaign, became the catalyst for change across Florida.
