Duke revamps voter registration efforts
David Graham
Coming soon to a mailbox near you: a North Carolina voter registration form, compliments of the Office of Student Affairs.
Forms will be placed in student mailboxes starting Wednesday as part of a University effort to better comply with the federal Higher Education Act.
The law mandates that institutions of higher education "make a good faith effort to distribute a mail voter registration form" to all students.
Associate Vice President for Federal Relations Chris Simmons said a speaker series and "Get Out the Vote" advertisements in student-targeted media will be part of a concerted push during the election season.
In previous election years, the University placed forms in high-traffic locations such as the Bryan Center, and links to the form were posted on the Community Service Center website.
He met with Elaine Madison, director of the Community Service Center, in late June to discuss compliance with the HEA.
