According to 18in08.com, 29
million people, aged 18-24, will be eligible to vote in the
upcoming Presidential Election. As young voters, we have the
potential to determine the outcome of next year’s Presidential
Election, so it is critical that as St. John’s students we stay
informed and become engaged in the political process and that
begins with
Registering and Voting!
A major initiative of “Participate in ’08” is to encourage
everyone to register to vote. Non-partisan voter registration
drives will be scheduled on campus and voter registration
information will be made widely available to the entire campus
community to encourage increased participation in the political
process.
The St. John’s University College Democrats and St. John’s
University College Republicans will sponsor and post interesting
events as well as academic lectures, guest speakers and
University-sponsored programs on the “Participate in ‘08” web page
to give young voters everywhere a sounding board in hopes that more
and more old and new voters will “Participate in ’08” during the
general election process.
