Democracy in Action is an Election Day project produced by student journalists in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.
On Election Day, students fan out to polling places all over Onondaga County, starting from when polls open and continuing throughout the day. Rather than focusing on specific races and results, the stories feature the voters and topics like why they vote, why this election is important in their communities, what they are teaching their children about voting and why voting truly is “Democracy In Action.”
