This panel will focus on the student perspective of learning about the voting process in Los Angeles. Incorporating students from multiple classes, the discussion will showcase how the LMU exit poll, the largest per capita exit poll in the country, tells the story of the election that the media doesn't always capture. Students will provide their anecdotes and research from the March 2020 election and how their engaged learning shaped the dialogue of voting in Los Angeles.
