Our Events
Party to the Polls
Hosted on October 22nd, 2024, this event was held to provide early voting opportunities and civic engagement/literacy education to young voters. During the Party to the Polls event, a party bus transported students and individuals from UF’s Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures to the Reitz Union, an early voting location for Alachua County. Students were invited to enjoy free pizza and drinks, play board games, and listen to music before boarding the bus. To ensure students were informed before voting, HSA’s Office of Political Affairs directors were available to answer questions and provide information about voter registration, the voting process, and proposed amendments listed on the ballot. Nine organizations collaborated in marketing and sustaining this event, and around one hundred students came to the Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures, with over sixty students voting early in the 2024 Presidential Election.
