Students Register To Vote With The Help Of Student Senate

Manhasset’s Student Senate held their annual voter registration drive from Jan. 31Feb. 1, advocating for eligible juniors and seniors to register to vote. Students were provided with registration forms and a QR code that allowed for quick access to the website for a digital registration. Student senate representatives took an active role in spreading the message by advertising outside the school’s auditorium and going into classrooms to explain the process. Advisor Mrs. Cerqua helped facilitate this event, which proved successful in not only getting students to register but informing them of how they can take an active role in exercising their right to vote and making their voices heard.
