This site’s purpose is literally to broadcast Grand Forks residents’ joy of voting. It shares and amplifies the townspeople’s favorite stories about voting, doing so with the hope that these tales will resonate with those who read them and encourage everyone to reflect on their own fondest voting memories.
This site is curated by Eric Burin and published in collaboration with The Digital Press at the University of North Dakota.
Citizen University’s Joy of Voting project invokes the tradition of parades, street theatre, open-air debates, and festivals, all of which were once part of a vibrant culture of voting in the United States.
