NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University is continuing its GOTV (get out the vote) student initiative and has partnered with a private foundation to help students who want to vote early.

Tennessee law requires that an individual voting for the first time must appear in person to vote early at either the county election commission office or at a satellite voting location. A large number of TSU students come from Memphis.
Mariah Rhodes, a senior political science major, who will be making the trip, said this election is very crucial and she is glad TSU is helping to make sure students’ voices are heard.
“TSU students from Memphis are the second largest student population on campus, and it makes me extremely happy to see the University provide transportation to Memphis just so students can vote,” said Rhodes, who is the current Miss TSU.
Fellow students Kaya Johnson, a freshman biology major, and Barrington Stanford, a sophomore aeronautical and industrial technology major, agreed.
