Election Day is just days away and more voters are heading to polls – many of them under 25 years old.
CHICAGO (WLS) — With Election Day inching closer, more and more voters are heading to the polls – many of them under 25 years old.19-year-old Sarak Kamal is one of them. Like many other young voters, she’s planning to vote in-person on Nov 3.“If you’re living in America and you’re affected by the policies and you have the right to vote, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t because it’s going to directly affect you and everyone that you know,“ Kamal said. Kamal lives five minutes from her polling place and plans to go vote with her mother as soon as the doors open at 6 a.m.“In 2016, I was a sophomore in high school and I remember feeling super frustrated because I felt like I was ready to vote and voice my opinion but I wasn’t legally able to,“ Kamal said.
