Season 6, Episode 10: RM students work election centers

May 3, 2024

The TidePod, which was started in early 2019, is currently in its sixth season. Graphic designed by Valerie Wang.

Starting Thursday, May 2, and continuing until May 9, Montgomery County voting centers will be offering early voting for all voters. In this election, Maryland voters can cast their ballots for the presidential primary along with elections for state senators and representatives in Congress, and delegates to the Democratic National Convention and Republican National Convention. This year, Montgomery County voters will also be able to vote for members of the board of education, and the race contains a wide variety of candidates from around the county.

Some RM students are getting involved with the elections and they will be working at voting sites the weekend of May 3. To learn more about what this looks like, we had guest host Humsa Tammera talk a little bit about what she will be doing as she works at election centers on the weekend.
