Students at Iowa State University welcomed President Obama to their campus in Ames today, and he had a message for the thousands of red- and gold-clad students about their role in the last election—and this one.

“So the point is, Ames, your vote matters. Your vote made a difference. Change was possible because of you. And now we’ve more work to do—to grow this economy, create good jobs, to strengthen the middle class. And in November, your voice will matter more than it ever has before.”

Check out some highlights from the event, then get ready to cast your vote by visiting GottaVote.org.
