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.
Adam:
Hello, this is Adam from Eugene.
My first time voting was for the 2000 election, Bush v. Gore. That was the first time that I had registered and was eligible to register for voting. And it was an in-person polling place in California.
I was in college and was really proud to register, not necessarily in my hometown, but in my new town where I was going to school. I very proudly voted in-person for that hotly contested election and I'm really proud to live in Oregon where I've been voting by mail since arriving here in 2013.
