And that’s a wrap!

Another National Voter Registration Day is in the books and what a day it was! We had a great time connecting with so many voters and future voters.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table to confirm their registration online or make their mark on our board. We heard from nearly 200 passersby and over 95% were registered!

In fact, we only registered a handful of new voters this year because so many of you were already registered! We did help almost 50 of you complete, verify or update your registration information, though, and we got a head start on making plans to vote in the upcoming elections.

But we couldn’t have done any of it without our student and faculty volunteers! They came prepared to motivate and inform the Clayton community and help them get ! To our volunteers: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, each and every one of you, for sharing your time, your energy, and your cookies!

To everyone, make sure you’re following us right here for more voter education updates as we get closer to November. There is a LOT on the ballot these midterms and you won’t want to miss out or be surprised in the voting booth. Stay informed by checking our Elections guide linked in our bio.
