Being that the last day to register to vote for the New York State Presidential Primary is Friday January 11th. I teamed up with Clarkstown High School North & South Students this week to hold voter registration drives right at their High Schools! We registered over 100 students that most likely would not have registered in time for this years election unless we were there to make it easy for them to register! I was really surprised at how many students actually wanted to register, many of them had said that they were wanting to register for a while but did not know were to do it or just did not have the time! Many of the students that were not 18 yet still seemed interested and I think it cemented the idea with them that as soon as they are of age they will register and not even think twice about it!
