For years, Fort Hays State University students have been advocating for a polling location on campus. Despite hearing from the community about the need for an on-campus polling location, County Clerk Bobbi Dreiling has not committed to opening a polling location.
The lack of a polling location had a clear impact on students’ voting rates at FHSU. The national average voting rate for college students is 66%. KU students, who have a voting location on campus, vote at a 71% rate. By contrast, FHSU students voted at a significantly lower rate of 62.4%, below the national average and much below other Kansas colleges like KU.
