Polls closed at 8 p.m.
8:05 p.m.
At a few seconds before 8 p.m. one of the poll workers from inside comes to stand in front of the PAC. As the seconds count down until 8 p.m., she loudly recites every one until the clock strikes and she shouts, “The polls are closed.” The once wide open PAC doors are shut behind her as the students left inside finish up voting.
At the UU, members of the SLO County election office came to the ballot boxes and begin closing the voting site.
In the last five minutes, two more students dropped off their ballots. One minute before closing, an additional two students voted, one exclaiming “did it!”

Keira Lin, a sophomore psychology major, shares how the political state of the United States is frightening to her.
“I feel like we’re going down a very dangerous path,” she said. “I think voting against it is one of the best things we can do to prevent this path we’re going down.” Lin was initially a history major, and shared how she sees concerning patterns today that mirror what she learned in her classes.
A few additional students approach the ballot boxes to cast their votes. One remarked how “it closes at 8.” The University Union is sparsely populated. Members of the SLO county election office come to the ballot boxes and begin closing the voting site.

At the top of the last hour, voting slowing down
7:30 p.m.
Voters at the UU are far and few between. One of the occasional students is microbiology junior Tyler Hendrick. He says that voting is super easy and believes students should take five minutes out of their day to vote.
“Voting is important, just getting your voice out there, having it be heard, contributing to the country,” Hendrick said.
Voters are trickling into the PAC, but the rush has died down. Lorelai Pena, a Sophomore business administration major, voted for the first time tonight. She filled out a provisional ballot and found the overall process to be short and easy.
“My friend Perla was like, ‘are you doing anything right now? We should go vote,” Pena said.
Pena said she was exposed to content about Prop 50 online which helped her feel more educated on the proposition.

With less than an hour before polls close, here's what students are saying
7:10 p.m.
The voting line at the PAC has begun to slow down, with the line about one quarter of the length it was previously. Jasmine Ramos an electrical engineering freshman voted for the first time today and said the experience wasn’t as she expected.
“[Voting] was very easy and accessible to do.” Ramos said, “I thought I would have to fill out a bunch of pages, but it was easy.” Ramos also said she’s unsure whether she would have logistically been able to vote, had the polling place not been on campus. “I would have still tried to find a way to vote, but most likely it wouldn’t have happened, if it weren’t here.”
Vanessa Vargas, a freshman biological science major, said she decided to vote because she wants to ensure that everyone’s voice is heard. “I’m taking advantage of this privilege I have,” she said.
There have been approximately 15 voters since the hour hit. Most students vote alone or with a friend. Activity at the UU continues uninterrupted by the occasional voter.
People in the UU are starting to dwindle down with only a couple people dropping off ballots in the last 20 minutes. Charlotte Acevedo, a business administration sophomore, is voting because “these policies affect us and I think that it’s important to vote one way or another because it takes your power away if you don’t have a say in anything going on around you.”

Voting remains steady on- and off-campus
7 p.m.
Voting at the PAC remains steady — the line seems dependent on whether or not you’re registered to vote. Sam Stein, an anthropology and geology sophmore, came out to vote at the PAC today because he believes voting is one’s civic duty. “If you can, you should,” he said.
According to Stein, the PAC seemed a little understaffed but everyone was helpful in their efforts to keep the voting process going. “They probably didn’t expect to have this many people but they were very clear, kind and nice,” he said.
Paloma Ramirez, a comparative ethnic studies sophomore felt the kind energy in the PAC while she waited to vote. “The reason I voted was just because American duty. We have the power of being able to elect who we want,” she said. Actively using that power is important, according to Ramirez.

Traffic is slowing down at the UU drop-off box
6:40pm
Less people are entering the UU with about 10 people dropping off a ballot in the last 10 minutes. Jessie Rizvi, a theater arts sophomore, is voting today because she “wanted to contribute to the state of our country right now, make an impact, and change it for the better.” Rizvi described how the voting process was easy as everything was mailed to Canyon post and she only needed to read the information booklet provided.

Students are reporting positive experiences voting today and minimal lines
6 p.m.
Small lines have been gradually forming at the entrance to the PAC while the lines inside continue to move quickly. Milie Phan, an animal science senior, came to the PAC to vote with her friends before grabbing dinner.
“I think it’s everyone’s right that they have to go and vote for what they believe in and so I wanted to exercise my right,” Phan said. Christian Pelayo, an environmental protection and management junior said the voting process was super easy. “The line was really long but the workers were fast and efficient,” he said.
Many first-time voters are casting ballots, excited to participate in their first election. “I feel like a lot of the younger generation came out to vote, and I think we could really make a difference,” civil engineering freshman Alayshia Wright said.
Other young voters like business senior Mia Guzman share similar sentiments. “I think it’s important because every vote counts,” she said. “I definitely am a firm believer in that. I think it’s important, just as a citizen, to do your part in our democracy.”
More people are entering the UU as classes finish and the deadline to vote gets closer. Around 30 people have dropped off their ballots in the last 10 minutes with many filling out their ballots here. Allie Sherman, a city and regional planning sophomore, thinks it is important to vote because “using our voices in California and any other state can help bring equity in places where it is being shut down. As a person of privilege, it is my responsibility to vote.” Sherman also described the voting process as “a little scary and stressful because it seems everyone knows what to do and I don’t really know but it also feels empowering.”

Lines at the Zion Lutheran Church have largely dissipated, with less college-aged students dropping by recently. Primarily, voters here are driving up, dropping ballots and leaving quickly.
Senior landscape architecture major Jennifer voted for the first time today. She overall found the process to be quite easy in terms of how to fill in the ballot and where to drop it. She decided to vote today because she relies on a lot of government resources.
"I'm using all of this government stuff so I need to make sure I know what is going and that I have a voice," she said.

Repping 'I voted' stickers
5 p.m.
Journalism freshman Lola Campos came out to the polls because her friend didn't receive her mail-in ballot. It was her first time voting at 18 years old.
She said it felt like she was participating in the state and federal democracies when she filled out her ballots.
"I think everyone should vote," Campos said. "I've been seeing people around here not repping their 'I voted' stickers. It's kinda like why would you not vote especially because it's right here."
Campos said people should vote because that's what the founding fathers fought for in the American Revolution. Each person's vote matters, she said, even if it doesn't always feel like it.

What's bringing Cal Poly's first time voters to the polls?
2:30 p.m.
Many of Cal Poly’s younger voters are getting their first chance to vote this year, and with it being an in-state election, their vote counts for more than it might in national elections.
Zoie Li, a civil engineering freshman who voted for the first time on Tuesday at the PAC, said she wanted to express her right to vote with it being the first year she was eligible to vote.
“I just think it’s really important for everyone to get their input in and you know share your voice and what matters to you the most so I think it’s really important for everyone to vote,” Li said.
Even with just one item on the ballot this time around, many first time voters like Maiya Armstrong, an electrical engineering sophomore, are feeling the weight of the vote.
“I just think it’s really important for everyone to get their input in and you know share your voice and what matters to you the most so I think it’s really important for everyone to vote,” Armstrong said.

The UU has continued to see a steady flow of voters, with around three every five minutes. SLO County officials have dropped by to pick up the ballots at 1:39 PM.
It’s the first time voting for Natalia Lucas, a sophomore agricultural science major. She said she decided to vote because “I just want to have my voice heard right now in the current state that we are in. I think our voices are really important as young youth in our community.” Lucas thought the voting process was easy, quick and efficient and urged others to vote. As the first member of her family to vote, she feels she carries a big responsibility, but is grateful to have the ability to vote.
“I think it's really important that people that want their voice heard, that they vote and make sure that they’re doing what they can to ensure that they get heard,” said Keylani Ascencio, a sophomore psychology major. In her second time voting, she is also urging people to vote, saying that it's the small things like texting someone “Did you vote” to get them thinking of voting as well.

When can we anticipate results?
1:45 p.m.
First results for the election will come in at 8 p.m. tonight. Almost 80,000 mail-in ballots were received before today according to Erin Clausen, public information specialist for the SLO County Clerk-Recorder’s Office. That is about 45% of the mail-in ballots the county sent out to voters.
After tonight, poll results are added periodically over the course of the evening until they are all counted. The count won't end there.
The county will count all the provisional and mail ballots from Election Day and post an unprocessed ballots report at the end of the day Thursday that will document how many different ballot types have to be counted.
On Friday, the county will count mail-in ballots and add them to the total. Clausen said they will probably count three times after Election Day to wrap up results. They will also spend the next few weeks reaching out to those who didn't sign their mail-in ballot envelopes to give them a chance to add a signature to count their ballot.
The county will certify the final results by Dec. 2.

1:30 p.m.
Physics sophomore Nicholas Taylor said this election is the only time his vote matters as a California resident.

Graphic communications junior Sameeha Siraj said voting was just as smooth as last year for her. She said, “I think it’s kinda my duty as a citizen to really use my voice because I have the privilege and so many people fought for the right to vote, and I just think I should be able to use my voice.”

Students say the voting process is 'pretty easy'

The UU Ballot Drop Box continues to see a consent stream of voters. Most voters are students dropping off their vote by mail ballot in between classes. Students have been appreciating the accessibility of the ballot drop box, and made the voting process easy.
“I mean, we knew where the ballot boxes were already, so I mean, it was pretty easy,” said Neiko Lopez, a junior computer engineering major. “It doesn’t take much time at all.”
Civil engineering junior Aidan Hicks said, “While I’m generally against gerrymandering as a principle, I am voting in favor of Prop 50 because it’s in retaliation to the Texas measure for their redistricting, and I think we kinda have to fight fire with fire if we don’t wanna just keep letting things get worse as a county”
He said the voting process was straightforward and said everyone has responsibilities as voters to practice our civic duty and participate in the system.

Cal Poly Democrats on Dexter Lawn
11 a.m.
Cal Poly Democrats club has seven student representatives on Dexter Lawn discussing Proposition 50 with voters. They are explaining why they believe voters should vote yes.
“I think [prop 50] is well done," Cal Poly Democrats outreach coordinator Elliot Halcon, a political science sophomore, said.

The representatives are handing out donuts to all students, regardless of what they’re voting for or if they’re voting at all.
Voting at the University Union is fluctuating, with some students stopping by between classes to drop off their ballots. About one or two voters come every five minutes, with occasional waves of five or more voters.
Sterling Stoural, a biomedical engineering junior, emphasized his strong belief in exercising his right to vote.
“Voting is a fundamental right that this country offers,” Stoural said. “Not taking advantage of it is a mistake.”
Rosie Myer, an anthropology and geography freshman, is casting her vote in the special election for Washington state.
“My grandparents were educators and my dad works for the city,” Myer said. “So I wanted to vote to do good.”
Helena Fink, an English junior, said she would vote in any election she is eligible to vote in.
“I think that people should speak their opinions,” Fink said. “Some people don’t vote because they think whatever they want is not going to pass. But then nobody ends up voting.”

“We can do quite a bit the day before,” Gottlieb said. “Then that makes coming in this morning with all of our materials that much easier to come in and just lay things out.”
He also explained that the process is smooth because of the help from workers.
“Cal Poly is unique in attracting really amazing workers,” Gottlieb said. “They want to come here and do everything they can to help facilitate voting and to help the folks in these two precincts have every bit of support and access that we can help them with.”
