Sorority holds voter registration drive at Collins High School
SUMMARY: A sorority in Laurel, Mississippi is helping increase voter turnout by organizing registration drives and encouraging students to vote. With low voter turnout in recent elections, efforts are being made to educate and encourage young voters to participate. The sorority has successfully registered over 50 students and plans to continue their efforts to increase voter participation. With over 1 million registered voters in Mississippi, there is a focus on getting people engaged in the democratic process, especially with upcoming elections. The group plans to travel to different locations to encourage voter registration and participation.
The sorority has held these voter registration drives at several other schools and successfully got 19 students registered today to vote in November.
