Philadelphia Voting and Elections: Why Vote?

Why Vote?

Why College Student Voters Matter 
"Local offices and issues have a direct impact on a student’s home and college community. Officials make decisions on topics like student debt, funding for higher education, and the economy. Because community college students typically go to school in the communities where they and their families live, they can directly share registration and voting information with their larger community."
