The Knox Student

Next Thursday from 7 to 9 the Knox Democrats and Campus Life are hosting a voter registration event. The school will be deputizing individuals, students and perhaps faculty, who are registered to vote in Knox County, as registrars who can lead you through the voting registration process.

There will be LIVE MUSIC and FREE FOOD.

These Illinois voter registrars and other trained individuals will lead you through the registration process and explain your states’ regulations.

While the Knox County election office and the Knox County Democrats are aware of the event, it is sponsored solely by Campus Life and the Knox Democrats.
