An event like the Election 2008 only comes around once every four years, and an election like the current campaign season only comes along once in a lifetime.
Associated Students Productions and the Student Union is excited to present Election Central, an election night gathering to watch the real-time results of the 2008 Presidential and local elections. The event will be held on Election Day, Nov. 4 at 5 p.m. in the Student Union. Admission is free to all.
The campus community is invited to witness the live results of the election everyone is talking about, complete with live big screen television coverage on multiple screens of the elections, says Bruce Berkowitz.
Each room in the student union will be filled with facts and speakers on election related issues as well as information on the all important propositions on the California ballot.
Included in the festivities will be a student panel on ballot measures, speakers on American civics, the effects of the presidential elections, local and state politics and more.
Attendees can have their pictures taken with life-size images of McCain and Obama.
