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 - Naya

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

Election day is coming up next Tuesday and all this week, KLCC has been bringing you a series called Voter Voices. We recently set up our mobile recording booth at the Eugene YMCA and asked passersby to share a memory about voting. For our final segment, we'll hear from someone who's too young to vote but is feeling engaged with the election process nevertheless.

Naya:

My name is Naya and I'm a student at South Eugene High School. Right now, I'm taking a civics class during the election year and I think it's super interesting because right now we've kind of pushed forward the curriculum to cover more voting and how elections work and stuff. We started learning about voter suppression and voting rights.

I think it's just super interesting to learn about all of that during the election year and we're talking about current events and we're also talking a little bit about the election. I really enjoy learning about it now so that I can know more when it's my turn to actually vote.

Special thanks to the Eugene YMCA for giving us space to set up the KLCC mobile recording booth.

KLCC's Voter Voices series was produced by Chris Lehman with help from Brooke Bumgardner and Love Cross.
