Chinese Progressive Association (CPA) is going to be participating in Student Voter registration day.
If you turn 18 by December 31, 2016, you can vote in any of the 2016 elections.
Friday March 18 from 9:15-11:30am.
They will be registering students (18 year old 12th graders) at Pace High School (not for the general public!). Students will gather in the library. There will be a short program, a talk and then voter registration right there.
Once you’ve registered to vote, there is the link to go to check that you’re in the voter rolls : voterlookup.elections.state.ny.us
CPA will need a few volunteers who are free that morning to help register the students. The students will be given the forms to fill out themselves. CPA will collect them, but they will need people to help collect and do a quick check of the form.
If any coalition members are free that morning to help please contact the Chinese Progressive Association: cpanyc@cpanyc.org or 212-274-1891
For those interested in volunteering, there will be a training: Thurs. Mar 10 at 10am or 2:30 pm. The trainings are being held at the NYC campaign finance board.
