GORHAM, ME — Getting to the polls on election day was a group activity at the University of Southern Maine’s Gorham Campus. The Office of Student Engagement and Leadership (SEAL) worked with Maine Students Vote to organize a series of walks from USM’s Gorham to the neighborhood polling place at the Gorham Municipal Center. The start times for the walks were 9 a.m., 1 p.m., and 4 p.m.

University President Jacqueline Edmondson walked with the last group of the day. Although she had already voted in the morning, Edmondson accompanied the students to support them in exercising their right to vote. Edmondson’s dog, Elbow, also enjoyed the exercise.
