This project in Prof. Rachel Brooks' GOVT 2305 course served to encourage ACC students to register to vote, especially those students who attend ACC Campuses at non-traditional times.  Voter registration cards were provided for Saturday classes in order to assist students in the first step in being able to vote - timely registration. Voting is a privilege that many have fought for in America, and it is also a right. Assisting others in registering to vote helps those who want to participate as voting members of society take the necessary steps before arriving at their polling place.
