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 - Ethan

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.

Ethan:

Hello, my name is Ethan Kegley.

The first time I voted when I was 18, in 1998, I voted here in Eugene, Oregon, at Willamette Bible Chapel. I was very new to the political process, but it was very interesting seeing people around me that had voted many times. That was a midterm election.

The second time I voted, I was living up in Everett, Washington. It was a presidential election, and I voted at a library. Since then, all the voting that I've done has been at absentee ballots.

I really appreciate KLCC and the work that they do, and I am excited to be voting again as part of the election process. Thank you.
