Rock The Vote!

Rock the Vote: Rock the Vote Don't Block the Vote via kwout

It's November and that always means elections, and if you're 18 you're eligible to vote. Make sure your voice is heard by registering and then making it to the polls. You've probably learned how the system works in Government, but even if you don't have a great idea you can always check the AJC for information on the bills up for a vote and candidates.

Look out for registration forms provided by the SGA and registration events.
