Secretary of State Bill Bradbury will speak in the EMU Amphitheater today, headlining a voter rally that includes speeches by University President Dave Frohnmayer and ASUO President Adam Petkun.
The rally is part of the ASUO’s annual student voter registration drive and starts at noon. ASUO is working with the Student Vote Coalition and other student groups around the state in an effort to register 30,000 students.
“Student voter turnout is the only way to hold legislators accountable on issues we care about,” Amy DuFour, ASUO state affairs coordinator and registration drive volunteer, said. “If students take an active role in the democratic process, politicians will be forced to confront issues such as higher education and tuition hikes.”
Campus leaders organizing the registration drive have a goal of registering 7,500 voters at the University alone, which would exceed the number registered in previous years by thousands of students.
