Election Day events at Memorial Union
With much of the student population using Memorial Union as their primary polling place, the building has become a hub of Election Day activity.
The Arts and Science Student Council is offering free pizza outside Memorial Union to students who voted. (EDIT, 2:40 p.m., As with most Election Day incentive promotions, such as the one at Starbucks, it is illegal to reward people for voting, and thus those sans stickers were still given pizza.)
Also, as of 1:30 p.m., there was no more pizza.
Starting at noon today until 1:30 p.m., the Student Union Programming Board is hosting an Election Day Forum in the Gillette/Ware Room (Room 206 in Memorial Union South). Lunch will be provided and Forums committee members will be providing information about today's races for students who have not voted yet and prizes for those who have voted, along with opportunities for discussion.

Tell the A&S Student Council to stop. It is illegal to entice, in anyway, someone to vote regardless if you are encouraging them to vote a certain way. If they offer pizza to those who voted, they must also give pizza to everyone.
