With the presidential election about one week away, we hope that every eligible student has made an informed decision for their candidates for both national and local elections.

In fact, there are still two days left to vote early, which is a practice we wholeheartedly endorse.

Our country is built on the way we select our leadership, something that makes us unique to many other parts of the world.

A democracy only works when the people are part of the process, not the special interests or other influences that seek to swing an election one way or another.

This newspaper will not be endorsing any candidate for president or local elections, because it is time for you, the voter, to make your choice, not ours.

We believe that enough information has been thrown at you to last well into the next four years.

Three presidential debates, millions spent in advertising, fact check after fact check and the spin that both college political parties have put on the issues have all had their chance to form our opinion.

Voting is much like taking the attendance of America’s citizens. Are you going to say “here,” or simply be counted absent?

Vote. It’s your right.
