2016 Presidential Election: Home

Welcome to the 2016 Election LibGuide. This guide was created to help students at OWU learn more about the upcoming primaries, presidential election, its candidates, and the issues. It provides media coverage of campaigns, provides web sites to follow spending, as well as some great sites to fact check, learn about voter registration, check out related polls, news, and more. 

Make sure you register to vote! Voter registration will be taking place on campus in several locations. Please check the listings below for times and dates (taken from the OWU Daily)
