Voter Registration & Candidate Forum on Campus
Register to vote (for any SD county) and learn about local candidates for the SD Senate and house through two activities.
1. "Exercise your right to vote! A voter registration drive will be held in the DSU Marketplace in the coming weeks. Those interested in voting in the November election need to fill out a voter registration card. Each person determines the county in which he or she wishes to register, so filling out the paperwork in the Marketplace does not mean that you need to vote in Lake County. Applications for absentee ballots and sample ballots will also be available.
Madison’s branch of AAUW (American Association of University Women) is sponsoring the event. The drive will be held October 7, 9, 15, and 16 from 11:30 to 1:00 and October 8 from 12:00 – 1:00. AAUW encourages everyone to participate in the process. For voting guides and voting records, visit http://www.aauw.org/. "
