Washington (CNN)American University students Meredith Reilly and Zachary Houdek requested absentee ballots earlier this fall. But when they realized on Sunday, with just over a week until Election Day, that their mail-in ballots had yet to arrive, the pair hopped in the car and drove 27 hours from Washington, DC, to Texas to cast their ballots in person for the 2020 election.

"We're particularly motivated," Reilly told CNN. "I never expected my vote to matter that much. But this election is getting very close and exciting," Reilly said.

Reilly and Houdek, both 20 years old, want to play their part in what they said is a historic election.
