Students Promote Voter Registration
September 30, 2024
Galloway, N.J. – Why are Stockton University students voting this year?
Students' answers to this question varied during Thursday, Sept. 26’s Voter Registration Drive, hosted by the American Democracy Project, an initiative tied to the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy.
“Voting is a way to make your voice heard – while representative of only one person, you help choose the country’s direction,” one student wrote anonymously on the interactive “Why I’m Voting” table.
“There are a lot of people not voting this election season because they feel like their vote doesn’t count, and you could argue that it doesn’t because of the electoral college, but I still feel like we should get out and vote because we live in a democratic society,” said Bella Piper, a senior Political Science major, as she applied for a mail-in ballot.
Every year, the project hosts a drive where they assist students in registering to vote, checking their registration status and applying for a mail-in ballot before the Oct. 15 deadline. In addition, the Atlantic County Superintendent of Elections office brought a voting booth to campus so students could see what to expect when it’s time to vote in November.
The project seeks to meet students where they are and help them successfully vote in the upcoming election.
