The Colgate Vote Project has collaborated with First Transit to modify regular Colgate Cruiser routes on election day, making it easy to get to the local polls!
Local Polling Location
The local polling station for students who are registered to vote in Madison County is located at the Hamilton Public Library. This location is within walking distance of campus, and modified Cruiser routes (information below) also make it possible to quickly make it to the polling location and back to campus.
Walking Directions
Colgate Cruiser to the Polls
The University highlights several of its Colgate Cruiser routes, which have been slightly modified for election day to provide easy, direct access to the local polling station.
Several Colgate Cruiser routes can take students from upper campus to the downtown polling station:
- Daytime apartments route
- Bookstore route
- Shopping route
The following composite schedule for these routes highlights three locations on the upper campus where students may catch a fast shuttle to the polls:
