Community event is led by students

Party at the Polls is a free, student-led, nonpartisan community event aimed at encouraging people to vote early for the 2020 General Election.

The socially distant rally featured food music and an opportunity to vote early at the Farwell Recreation Center. Student leaders will speak out about the importance of voting.
