Jonathan Becker, executive vice president and director of the Center for Civic Engagement, argued for the passage of New York Bill A454/S4658, which would provide on-campus polling sites at colleges with more than 300 locally registered voters and prevent the division of college campuses into multiple election districts. Connecting the issue to broader voting trends across the State, Becker says that students, who work and volunteer in their college communities for the public good, deserve accessible voting sites. “Isn’t it hypocritical to welcome college students into our core community institutions while excluding them from exercising their right to vote as citizens in those communities?” Becker asks.
