The University of Pennsylvania will participate in National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday, Sept. 23. Penn joins more than 1,000 organizations across the country in this one-day coordinated initiative to increase voter registration and voter education.

Penn’s Office of Government and Community Affairs and Penn Leads the Vote will hold a voter registration drive outside the Graduate Student Center, 3615 Locust Walk, from noon to 2 p.m. Complimentary pocket Constitutions and U.S. flags will be available.

Students are also invited to attend a Penn Voter Education Task Force information session in Room 109 of the ARCH Building at 1 p.m. to learn about a new initiative to foster Penn’s community of regularly practicing voters. Students who join the task force will have the opportunity to build leadership skills through voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts as well as service on the campus Boards of Election on Nov. 4.
