Contribute to the Daily's election coverage with #umichvotes
BY JOSEPH LICHTERMAN
You’ve heard it a lot, but this election is important.
The outcome of Tuesday’s election — from the race for the White House to Ann Arbor’s local ballot initiatives regarding a new downtown library and funding for public art — will likely affect your community in some capacity.
It should come as no surprise that we’re encouraging you to vote. It’s one of your most basic right as an American citizen. You can turn to page 1A of the Nov. 5 edition of the Daily for a guide on everything you’ll need to know before you go to the polls,
But we also want you to be part of how we cover the election. We want to know what you think. We want to see what you see. We want to hear your voice.
Did you hear something interesting? Send us a tweet or comment on our Facebook. Did you see something worth sharing? Take a photo with Instagram.
Use the hashtag #umichvotes and we’ll collect your observations, along with those from our reporters and photographers, and post them at www.michigandaily.com/news/vote
On Tuesday we’ll have reporters and photographers spread out everywhere from Chicago to the Buffalo Wild Wings on South State Street covering the election, but we can’t be everywhere. We need your help.
Thanks, and again, please remember to vote.
