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.
