The American Democracy Project is again partnering with the League of Women Voters of Chautauqua County to make voter registration more accessible to students on campus.
“We’re hosting on-campus voter registration drives throughout October. Each event gives the campus community an opportunity to grab a voter registration form, scan a QR code to register online, ask questions about filling out the form, and find out how to submit the form,” said Department of Communication Associate Professor Angela McGowan-Kirsch, who serves as ADP chair.
On-campus voter registration drives will be held on the following dates and at the locations indicated:
• Oct. 11, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; McEwen Hall ground floor;
• Oct. 16, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; University Commons; and
• Oct. 19, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; McEwen Hall ground floor.
Those students who are New York state residents can find out if they are registered to vote online. Students can also register to vote online.
“As the newest voting members of our democracy, it’s important that Fredonia students have access to the tools they need to be prepared to vote in the upcoming elections,” commented Dr. McGowan-Kirsch.
