Sept. 17 is National Voter Registration Day; Milwaukee Central Library hosting mini-carnival

National Voter Registration Day is Tuesday, Sept. 17. Marquette students are encouraged to be civically engaged. One way to do so is to vote in federal, state and local elections.  Be sure to visit the Marquette Vote website to learn if you are eligible to vote in Wisconsin and how to register to vote. If you registered to vote in previous elections but your address has changed since the last election, even within a residence hall, you are required to register to vote at your new address.

The Marquette community is invited to celebrate democracy with Milwaukee Public Library at its National Voter Registration Day Mini-Carnival Sept. 17 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Test your knowledge of voting and the electoral process, vote in a mock election, and take a turn at our prize wheel for some fun swag.

Volunteers will be on hand to answer your questions about voting, eligibility, and access to the polls, including Marquette's University's Center for Urban Research, Teaching and Outreach.
