WHITEWATER — The city of Whitewater is considering closing its UW-Whitewater voting location during certain elections.
Students and community members told city council their frustration with the idea during Tuesday night's board meeting.
The measure would consolidate the city's two polling locations into one for "low turnout elections," in the city's words.
"Odd years, when there are no Presidential or Gubernatorial elections, I do not think we should have polling locations on campus," said the Whitewater city staff recommendation within the city council agenda item.
Students and community members who attended the city council meeting were wholly against the idea.
