Pop quiz: Are you registered to vote? If not, you have until March 24th to register to vote in Pennsylvania. That date is sooner than you think, only a week after we get back from spring break.

Swarthmore Students for Barack Obama have made it a primary goal to get as many Swarthmore students as possible registered and excited to vote on April 22nd. All Swarthmore students, first-years and seniors included, are eligible to vote in this state. In order to vote in the primary, you need to be 1) registered to vote in Pennsylvania and 2) registered as a Democrat or Republican. If you registered before as an Independent or with no party affiliation at all, you will not be allowed to vote in the primaries, so take this opportunity to change your registration and make your voice heard. If you previously registered at Swarthmore but have changed precincts by moving on or off campus since then (off-campus residences include ML, PPR, and Strath Haven) you should re-register. Finally, if you are registered in another state but haven’t voted in a primary this year, you can change your registration to PA with no penalty whatsoever.

Having a large student turnout at the polls will not just help our chosen candidate – it will help give a voice to students and young people who are consistently viewed as an unimportant part of the political process. For democrats especially, this year’s primary is the most important in decades, and we want everyone, no matter whom they support, to get involved in the process of choosing the Presidential candidate.

We’ve had great success storming the dorms and tabling in Sharples, and will be continuing to do so right up until the registration deadline to make sure everyone has an opportunity to participate in the primaries. In order to meet our goal of 100% participation, we need all the help we can get, now and on election day. There are many ways you can volunteer, no matter what your party affiliation. Please let us know at swarthmoreforobama [at] sccs.swarthmore.edu if you are interested in working to create an engaged, involved Swarthmore campus.
