Boba and Ballots

SJSU Votes held a Boba and Ballots event on October 24, 2022, the last day to register to vote and receive a vote-by-mail ballot. At this event, SJSU students were able to practice voting and learned about voter registration and requirements from SJSU Votes students. They were also able to register to vote in time to receive a vote-by-mail ballot. After this date, voters would have the option to register using same-day, or conditional registration. This Boba and Ballots event idea came from Dr. Currin-Percival’s Pols 15 class which also helped with the SJSU Votes project in fall 2022. SJSU students received a free boba tea (a split cup with two flavors) and then practiced voting on their favorite flavor and on which actor was the best Spiderman. This event was a big success in helping to inform students about voting requirements and deadlines!
