Tuesday, April 26th is primary day in Connecticut, and many people at Wesleyan will be able to vote right here on campus. Beckham Hall is a polling place for lots of folks in the area, and it will be open from 6 a.m. – 8 p.m. There will be more traffic in the area, and changes for the day in regard to parking. Here’s a note from Public Safety:
Tomorrow Beckham Hall will be used as a polling location for area voters. To facilitate access for voting, the extension lot E on Wyllys Avenue (smaller lot) will be closed to regular Wesleyan parking and reserved for voter parking. Some parking will be allowed on Wyllys Avenue for voters’ use, and this will be clearly signed. This will be an inconvenience for some members of our community who are accustomed to parking in this area. Increased vehicle traffic by people who may not be familiar with the area may present some traffic conflicts. Pedestrians should use extra care. Students should not park in this lot during the evening hours as the lot will be blocked off.
This election may turn out to be the most consequential in a long time. Please exercise your right to vote!
