I recently wrote about active citizenship at a distance<\/a> and the nuances of being a good community member when you\u2019re healthy at home. Active citizenship is a concept that\u2019s needed to change form during the pandemic. It no longer means supporting my neighbors face to face \u2014 it means that I am keeping my community safe by staying home. It feels like a contradiction: To help others, I need to keep my distance from them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active citizenship will soon take on a new form: the 2020 election. This is certainly one of the strangest election years in history, where presidential candidates are campaigning from their basements and primary elections are being canceled, delayed and moved to other formats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of us who are eligible, voting in local and national elections is one of the primary ways we practice active citizenship and support democracy. Regardless of your political affiliation, your vote and your voice matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kentucky\u2019s primary election is June 23. All eligible Kentucky voters can request an absentee ballot (also called \u201cvoting by mail\u201d). Make sure you have checked your registration<\/a> and requested an absentee ballot<\/a> \u2014 by June 15 at the latest. If you\u2019re not yet registered, you can do so here<\/a> and then vote in the general election in November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if you\u2019re not in Kentucky, or you want to make sure you receive notifications when it\u2019s time to vote? Transylvania has partnered with TurboVote<\/a>, a resource that makes it easy to check your voter registration and request an absentee ballot. This is a great resource if you don\u2019t live in Kentucky \u2014 it has voter registration information for all 50 states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we look to the general election in November, Transylvania is committed to supporting all of our eligible students to vote. President John N. Williams recently signed a commitment to support full student voter participation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that as a Transylvania community we can get to full voter participation \u2014 in fact, that\u2019s why I\u2019ve worked with a committee of faculty, staff and students to that end<\/a>. There is a role for each of us to play to make sure we\u2019re registered and know how we\u2019re going to vote and that we\u2019re prepared to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
