UNITY – Unity College plans a voter parade from campus to the Unity Community Center on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4. The nonpartisan voter parade is described by Unity College officials as an electoral rallying point for the Greater Unity community. The public is invited to attend and participate.
The parade will organize at 10 a.m. outside the Student Center on the Unity College campus. From 10 to 11 a.m., members of the Unity Experience class and Constructive Activists Club will oversee sign making activities. Individuals or groups representing positive political perspectives are welcome to create signs for the parade.
The voter parade will begin at 11 a.m. outside the Student Center and will move down Quaker Hill Road through the town of Unity, concluding at the Unity Community Center, the polling place for the town.
In 2004, Unity College was the first and only college in Maine to sponsor a voter parade. The 2008 voter parade promises to include slogans and drawings espousing the virtues of participatory democracy. The 2004 voter parade included political independents, green party members, and members of the Democratic and Republican parties.
