DID YOU KNOW? Almost every single American graduating from high school this Spring (4 million in total) is old enough to register to vote, regardless of what state they live in. That’s why we like to say:

Graduation Season
is Voter Registration Season!

Students Holding a Voter Registration Drive at their High School during Graduation Season

Senior spring is a time for 
celebration, accolades, and reflection on lessons learned and what lies ahead.

At The Civics Center, we believe that ought to include the message that voting matters, young people’s voices are essential, and we welcome their full participation in our democracy.

So what better time to hold a voter registration drive?

Before Seniors go their separate ways, let’s ensure they ALL have the tools to cast their first ballots.

  • Prom

Ideal for a capstone project!
