This initiative was specifically targeted at students aged 16 and older, enabling them to pre-register so that they will be eligible to vote as soon as they turn 18. The effort is part of a non-partisan campaign with a mission to “educate and advocate” for democracy, ensuring that young people are prepared and empowered to participate in future elections.
Encouraged by their teachers Ms. Rodriguez and Ms. McCarthy, interested students had the opportunity to learn more about the voting process and secure their ability to vote in upcoming elections. The Social Studies Honor Society and the League of Women Voters representatives emphasized the importance of every vote and the role that informed and engaged citizens play in maintaining a healthy democracy.
By facilitating this voter registration drive, Peekskill High School continues to demonstrate its commitment to civic education and the empowerment of its students as future leaders.
