Early Voting at UNT
8:22 AMAfter a technical issue and a rocky start with the voting machines, University of North Texas early voting is still underway at Sycamore Hall.
Endless "vote for" whoever signs were scattered all along the entrance and sides of Sycamore Hall in hopes of influencing last minute voters.
Supporters from both sides of the fracking ban were in attendance. Both sides have large visuals for students walking past to look at, sometimes sparking debates between the two sides.
UNT graduate Niki Chochrek spoke to another student about the fracking ban, attempting to bring her to the other side.
"These fracking sites are sometimes 150 feet from people's backyards," Chochrek said. "People don't even consider the sound and pollution fracking causes. I know someone who if they let their kids outside to play for longer than an hour, they will get nosebleeds."
Another student, UNT electrical engineering senior, Bobbye Gentry had another opinion.
"I want to talk to both sides, but I am against the fracking ban," Gentry said.
With one day remaining for early voting, UNT hopes to draw as many students in to vote despite the long lines.
Early voting at UNT will continue in Sycamore Hall room 142 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., the last day to vote early being tomorrow.
