Student Senate leaders register voters with annual campaign, “Get Out the Vote"

Going on now through the end of the week, PTC’s student senators are working to register students, visitors, staff and faculty members as voters. Student senators are working in shifts, staffing a table at the entrance to the Student Lounge, urging anyone at least 18 years old who is not already a registered voter to complete the registration cards.

“It’s an especially important election year, no matter what political party you’re affiliated with, and every voice needs to be heard,” says Student Senate Treasurer April Sheldon. “We’ve already registered more than 25 new voters this week with the campaign,” Sheldon adds.

There is no charge to register, and just one form of identification or a Minnesota driver’s license number is required. Student senators are available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Friday this week.
