Calab Sterling is a member of the Political Science Society.
Brad Ellsworth
Congressman
P.O. Box 62
Evansville, IN 47701Dear Congressman Ellsworth
My name is Calab Sterling and I am currently a student at the University of Southern Indiana. As a member of the Political Science Society, I am bringing to your attention that the USI campus needs the voting booth moved from West Terrace Elementary school to the USI campus for both its students and citizens of Evansville. The current facility is not a convenient place for this city’s growing college campus, students, and West side of the city which revolves around the campus.
Students are growing minds with opinions and are the future of the country, which is why we need to include them all in the opportunity to vote. By placing the voting booth on campus we are enriching the campus, giving the citizens and students the tools necessary to vote, and will help you in your campaign to becoming Senator. The campus is already of public knowledge to students and Evansville citizens. Students without transportation are unable to vote because they have no way of getting to the current voting booth location at West Terrace Elementary School. The USI Political Science Society circulated a petition and it was signed by over seven hundred students and citizens. The petition stated that the voting booth on campus would be the ideal location.
Relocating the voting booth will help the students that attend USI and will also help the public by placing it in a notably public location, such as the campus. I would like to further discuss this with you either by interview or phone interview. My phone number is 812-686-8532 or you can reach me at the above address. Thank you for your time, and good luck in your campaign and upcoming election for Senator.
Sincerely,Calab C. Sterling
Member of the USI Political Science Society

community organizing. You must be able to work well with others and

A push to relocate a West Side polling place to the University of Southern Indiana campus got new life last week when key Vanderburgh County officials came on board.
But resistance comes from some elections officials who believe moving the precinct polling place to campus at the request of students could inconvenience more voters than it helps.

Here’s a great article about USI that appeared in the Courier Press today.
EVANSVILLE — Within months, the University of Southern Indiana campus will have a full quadrangle bordered by academic buildings, the 5-year-old David L. Rice Library and an expanded University Center surrounding a grassy interior.
The quad’s completion represents another step in the growth of what is a relatively young institution..

Perry Township Precinct 8 Polling Place
The University of Southern Indiana is located in Perry Township’s eighth precinct along with a small neighborhood to the south-west. Perry 8 contains no polling places and voters must travel to West Terrace Elementary School in Perry 7 to cast their ballots. To provide voting booths on USI’s campus would be a convenience to everyone in the precinct.
Please sign the petition to bring a polling place to USI!
