City Council President Austin King is highlighting a serious issue with regard to the spring elections in Madison.
Spring break for students on the University of Wisconsin campus runs March 31 to April 8. If the past is prologue, the vast majority of students will head out of town. The spring election falls on April 3.
….The UW should work with the city to implement a major absentee voting program, which will ensure that every student who wants to exercise his or her citizenship rights is able to do so.
