KLCC brings you a special election series called Voter Voices, where Oregonians share their voting experience in their own words —- and voices.

KLCC Voter Voices 2024 - Bringing you the election stories of Oregonians in their own words.

Election day is coming up soon, and all this week, KLCC is bringing you a series we're calling Voter Voices. Each day you'll hear another person's story. We recently set up our mobile recording booth at the Eugene YMCA and asked passersby to share a memory about voting.

Kari:

My name is Kari. When I was a small child, I remember going with my mom and I have very sweet thoughts of standing in a very small, rural library in between her legs, not knowing what she was doing as she was in this little booth which was dark, filling things out. But I always enjoyed the nice people and the stickers that we got on the way out and that was a really fun childhood memory.

But as an adult, I really appreciate the fact that I get a vote leisurely when I want to and drop it into the mail when I want to and there's no stress and no timely craziness. It's just really quite easy. I really appreciate that voting opportunity. Kari also told us she's especially excited this year because her son will get to vote for the very first time.
