PLTV 2010 Goal: 1522+ On-Campus Voters!

In the 2006 Midterm Election, 1521 students voted On-Campus. Penn Leads The Vote is ready to do it again, in 2010. After a very successful voter registration drive, PLTV is confident that we can beat the 2006 number and prove that Penn is enthusiastic about this election and that youth are politically engaged. Remember to vote on November 2nd!

841+ Penn Voters Registered!!!

As of the registration deadline, Penn Leads The Vote has collected 841 voter registration applications from students since the start of the school year. This number does not include those who directly mailed in the forms that PLTV placed in each student's on-campus mailbox at the start of the year, or the nearly 1800 students that were previously registered. PLTV would like to thank everybody who tabled on Locust Walk to achieve this tremendous milestone. This is a great sign of civic engagement on campus and PLTV cannot wait to mobilize these registered voters to show up at the polls on Election day.

PSCI 130: Introduction to American Politics will have a special focus on Election 2010!

PSCI 130 introduces Penn undergraduate students to American politics and government. It touches on such topics as U.S. constitutionalism, federalism, political participation, the Congress, the Presidency, public policy, and civil rights and civil liberties. As in 2004, 2006, and 2008, PSCI 130 will be taught by Dr. John DiIulio and will have a special focus on the election. Dr. DiIulio recently won Penn's two most prestigious awards for distinguished teaching for his work on PSCI 130 and other courses.
