The Montgomery County Probate office and Montgomery Public Schools are partnering to ensure students exercise their right to vote.
On Tuesday, Montgomery County Probate Judge JC Love introduced the second phase of implementing voter registration kiosks.
Love said the probate office discovered during the 2020 election cycle several college students who thought they were registered to vote but, unfortunately, were not. To continue to expand access, Love said the office of the probate began looking at an even younger generation of voters. The idea was born to put voter registration kiosks inside Montgomery high schools.“The second phase, we wanted to put these kiosks at all of our local high schools to really try to capture those students who are about to graduate and come into the world,” Love added.
“One of the things that the schools can do is they can move it around, you know, to the cafeteria, if they wanted to do a voter registration drive there, or if the student government or cheerleaders or Spanish club, wanted to do a voter registration, right up before the basketball game, they can hold it down there,” Love added.
