The Practice of Politics and Political Science class at the University of Wisconsin-Superior is tabling in the Yellowjacket Union this week to provide voter registration to students.

According to Haji Dokhanchi, the instructor of class, the registration is available to all students who are legally eligible to vote, and he says it is important for students to be able to vote because they then have the ability to have a say on many subjects.

“There is going to be a lot of issues affecting [the students] over their lives,” Dokhanchi said. “This is a great opportunity for them to involved and determine their own future.”

The registration is non-partisan, meaning that they don't register only one party; it is open to all students.

"We are now involved in a new campaign,” Dokhanchi added. [It is] to give people postcards that they can fill out so that they get a reminder that there is a vote.”

Next week, the class will also provide information about where people can find more on candidates not only in this region, but anywhere in the United States. This information is important when making choices about who to vote for and the different platforms and stances they take on the issues which will potentially affect students and the general public.

If you would like more information you can stop by the political science class table in the YU in the next week.
