The 2024 Casady Mock Election!

Hope Fahler (‘26), Campus News Editor

On November 5, Americans will vote on federal, state, and local officials and issues in the 2024 election. Casady students will also get an opportunity to vote this year through the mock election put on by Dr. Harp’s U.S. Government and Politics class and Dr. Bishop’s American Elections class. Students will vote for some of the same issues and positions that will be on the real ballot, as well as some Casady specific questions. All of the Casady questions are hypothetical - a vote “Yes” does not mean the measure will be enacted, but it shows support for the measure to Casady administration for their consideration. So what exactly will be on the ballot? Here’s a rundown:

There are three Casady questions, which, as mentioned before, are purely hypothetical. The first is to implement a uniform in the Upper Division. The second is to increase the amount of off campuses juniors have, and the third is to open buildings ten minutes earlier on Wednesdays. The two Oklahoma state questions will also be featured, which concern the authorization of public infrastructure districts and the prevention of noncitizen voting. The rest of the ballot will be dedicated to officials in various elected positions, including the Oklahoma county sheriff, state and federal Oklahoma representatives, and the President and Vice President of the United States.

Voting will take place on Tuesday, November 5, with online and in-person registration ending Sunday. In-person ballots will be handed out in Records, and students who request an online ballot during the registration will receive those via email. The votes will then be counted and announced later in chapel.
