On Monday, a column was published in The Daily Orange titled, “It’s on Student Association to remedy low voter turnout.” While the headline is spot-on, I think the rest of the column misses the mark. Now, I preface this by saying SA should be open to any and all ideas to raise voter turnout. However, our low voter turnout is a symptom of a much larger issue. 
The author of the column is completely correct when he says that “(Student Association) cannot possibly advocate for (student) interests without the voice of the student body.” However, student engagement by SA should not solely be focused around election season. Instead, SA needs to put a greater emphasis on the way we interact with students in the day-to-day.
