Democracy in Action: Crafton Hills College Hosts 2026 Midterm Election Polling Site

Publish Date: Nov. 10, 2026

On November 3, Crafton Hills College (CHC) served as a registered polling location. The Barbara L. Smith Event Center was open from 6am until 10pm to allow voters ample opportunity to exercise their civic right to vote in the 2026 midterm elections. The polling location was monitored by election workers throughout the day, as community members filtered in to vote. CHC President Kevin Horan said, “we are proud to offer our campus as a registered polling location once again and we welcome our students, faculty, staff, and community members to participate in this democratic process.” Prior to election day, Horan encouraged faculty and staff to take the time to vote if they choose to do so. Operating as a registered polling location is one of many ways that CHC continues to contribute to the surrounding community.
