Secretary of State Mobile visits SVSU today
Students will be given an opportunity to register to vote in the upcoming November election during a visit by a Michigan Secretary of State mobile branch office today. The office will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Registering at the mobile branch office qualifies as an "in person" registration, allowing students to vote by absentee ballot, saving students a drive back home where they are registered.
SVSU saw 165 students register to vote during a similar registration drive with the Secretary of State in 2004.
