Everyone Votes PA! 3/16 @ 7pm Old Main Chapel


Wednesday, March 16, 2016, Old Main Chapel
Be there @ 7pm!

If you want a direct voice in this year's primary election, get registered to vote!

The Pennsylvania Department of State (DOS) is coming to Shippensburg University, to launch Everyone votesPA, a web-based voter education platform that provides a toolkit to help individuals maneuver through registration with ease, understand the voting process, and know their rights as eligible voters.

DOS wants to ensure all eligible voters not only recognize the importance of the process, but also the impact of their vote. There are approximately 1.5 million eligible unregistered voters in Pennsylvania, according to the U.S. Census and DOS voter registration statistics.

The Everyone votesPA materials are aimed at voters, civic engagement groups and organizations that conduct voter education outreach. DOS hopes to enhance the voting experience for all Pennsylvanians. This visit will focus on the youngest generation of voters, a group that historically has been under-represented at the polls.

Representatives from DOS will be on campus Wednesday, March 16, 2016, to present Everyone votesPA to our student body, faculty and staff. We hope you will attend and encourage your friends and classmates to participate and engage with the DOS staff.
