We started off Gobblerfest 2015 by getting people to join our supporters list and giving away  Follow My Vote T-shirts!  Students were genuinely exited about our online voting solution. They were happy to hear that we want students to use our voting software for all sorts of campus elections, especially for the Student Government Association. If you are a Virginia Tech Student consider signing this petition for the SGA to use an honest and accurate online voting system!  If you’re not a Tech student, but want your school to use our online voting platform, let us know.

One of the best parts of Gobblerfest 2015 was getting on the radio! Follow My Vote Founder and CEO, Adam Kaleb Ernest was able to get on 105.3 The Bear. 105.3 is a local rock radio station that was covering Gobblerfest 2015. Adam was able to talk about Follow My Vote and the future of online voting. The disc jokey was all about what we are doing at Follow My Vote and expressed his excitement on air for secure and transparent online voting!

Check out the line we had at our booth! Gobblerfest 2015 was a fantastic event. We had a lot of fun interacting with students. We even brought our voting system demo to show off. You can see Follow My Vote CTO, Nathan Hourt demoing the software for students in the picture below.

It was unfortunate but Gobblerfest 2015 ended a bit early due to inclement weather. We apologize if you were planning on swinging by our booth near the end of the event. Even though our parade got rained on, the event was still a great success with many more online voting supporters and students informed about our online voting technology.

This event this year will be held on the Virginia Tech Drillfield on September 4th from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Virginia Tech’s Gobblerfest has been a huge success for Follow My Vote. This will be our third year attending!  We have blog posts covering our previous appearances (Gobblerfest 2014 and Gobblerfest 2013) that are worth reading.

We have many goals this year at Virginia Tech’s Gobblerfest. We plan to engage with students and invite them to join our grassroots movement for online voting! Here are a few of the items we will be sharing with students! Let us know what you think in the comment section and make sure to check our booth out if you’re in Blacksburg.

In preparation, we have designed a page on our site specifically for Hokies. Check out why we think Virginia Tech students should join our cause!

We will also be handing out these flyers! Pretty cool right?

At Follow My Vote, we believe that petitions are a strong force for effective change. Petitioning the SGA at Virginia Tech could be a huge stepping stone for online voting technology and put Virginia Tech on the map for being on the forefront of new technology in the voting industry.

If you are still not convinced you need to swing by, we will be giving out Follow My Vote T-shits and koozies! And if your into raffles, get excited! Because we will be raffling off several Virginia Tech T-shirts! (the raffle winners will be announced at 7:00 p.m. at our booth)
