     With issues like the government shutdown, it's important to be a registered voter. Many issues plague the youth and some of these issues they are unaware of. Some don't know the difference of an absentee ballot and a regular ballot.

                                                       

Student signing up to vote

    That's why the University of Montevallo Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta threw a voter's registration drive in celebration of National Voter's Registration Day. 
     The voter registration was held on September 24, 2013 in the cafeteria. Students that were interested in becoming a registered voter had the opportunity to sign up.The voter registration had a great turn out.
Most students who were in the cafeteria were already registered voters.


     If you were unable to attend the voter's registration on campus, don't let that stop you from becoming a registered voter. You can register to vote by visiting your state or local government's website. Or you can stop by these local government offices and agencies:

• Driver's licensing office
• County and select municipal public libraries
• Department of Human resources
• Department of Health
• Medicaid Agency
• Department of Rehabilitation services
