Democracy is loud. For many, voting is about making one’s voice heard, a singular decision amplified by collective action, unifying many voices into one.
This noise has come to a crescendo at Princeton as the 2024 presidential election approaches. Political organizations of all affiliations have held events all throughout the semester, drumming up civic engagement both on and off campus. Now, on the eve of election day, students will face their final opportunity to decide how and whether they will vote. Many, meeting early deadlines for mail-in and absentee ballots, have had to make that decision already.
Today on Daybreak, we reflect on the political climate on campus this semester, looking at how students engaged with democracy and listening in to understand what an election does to the campus soundscape.
