Pages September 15,2004 CAMPUS NEWS Meredith Votes 2004 ASHLEY CRAWFORD Staff Writer There are only 47 days left until Election Day. Have you been thinking about when to register and who to vote for? November 2 will be here before you know it. Last week we talked about the importance of reg istering to vote. A major advantage about voting at Meredith College is that the Meredith Votes! campaign has made the process of vot ing easily accessible and understandable. We hope that you will all take an interest in the campaign as well as our goals: register ing the campus and stimu lating political interest. Another important form that Angels should consider is the "Vow to Vote" form. These forms are available at the same places that regis tration forms are offered: Johnson Hall, the Cate Center, Campbell Library, and one at each end of Belk Dining Hall. These forms tell us that you are regis tered as a voter, that you promise to vote on November 2, and why you will vote. These cards also provide an opportunity for you to secure an absentee ballot. Most of the campus is not originally from Wake County, so absentee ballots are the best method of vot ing. Another important aspect of the card is the opportuni ty to help out with campus turnout on Election Day. Activities include driving voters to and from the polls, providing information about candidates, and canvassing faculty and students. Meredith Votes! requests that you provide your cam pus/home address on the back of the Vow to Vote form. Shortly before Election Day, we will send it back to you as a reminder and as motivation to get out and vote. In upcoming issues of the Herald, look for more regis tration information and news about candidates, both national and local. Meredith Votes! is also sponsoring a "Meet the Candidates" day on Thursday, September 30 from 5-7 p.m. in Belk Dining Hall on the Stringfield side. This is an excellent opportunity to meet and greet and gather information about local, state, and national candi dates. Remember - 47 days left. Don't forget to Vow to Vote!
