SGA last meeting, House approves voter registration booth legislation
Running mates for Student Government Association President Chuck Mahone and Vice President candidate Margaret Blackmer discuss goals they intend to run under during the Presidential Press Conference on March 23, 2015 in Anspach Hall.
The last Student Government Association meeting of the year ended in 20 minutes in the House Monday night after approving a resolution to establish voter registration booths at freshman orientation.
Penned by the SGA Governmental Affairs committee, the motivation for the bill came after committee members felt college age students did not attend the polls during the elections nearly enough. The resolution was unanimously passed with no changes being made to the bill.
The next SGA meeting will take place after the break at 8 p.m. on Monday Jan. 25. This time, however, it will not be taking place in the Bovee University Center's upstairs conference rooms due to construction said SGA Vice President Maggie Blackmer.
A location has not been decided upon for the meetings in the spring 2016 semester.
