The line of voters snaked out of the computer lab and throughout the lobby of the Student Dining and Residential Programs building midday Tuesday, as students waited to cast their vote.

It was “a little longer than I would like,” said Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten, who was stationed at the building around 3 p.m.

Around that time, 413 voters had cast their ballots, which Hulten viewed as a “great turnout.”

Abbey Sroka, a fifth-year senior in AHS, said she was “pleasantly surprised” about the length of the line, as she thinks it is important for students to vote.

“Especially at this age, it is important because this is going to be the next four years of our lives,” Sroka said. “It’s our future.”
