			Voter education requires a true devotion to learning the issues. SAVE chapters hold forums that educate voters on the positions that candidates, young people, and community leaders take on national and state policies. SAVE has already joined with the United States Association of Former Members of Congress to send bipartisan speakers to our chapters, as well as to hold political dialogues on the national, televised level. Politicians need to learn what topics are important to their young constituents, and young constituents need to know that politicians are accessible and listening.








			Recently partnering with ResidentAssistant.com, SAVE will work with 25,000 RAs this coming fall to lead voter registration drives that will sign up tens of thousands of college voters, while also distributing important Election Day procedures. Our goal is for every Resident Assistant to register at least 10 people in their hall, bringing our registration total to one quarter million.

			The average age of a poll worker in our country is well over 60. In many locations, it is over 70. SAVE chapters lead youth poll worker programs, where young people can take charge of elections as administrators and volunteers on Election Day. We regularly collaborate with board of elections offices at the chapter level and have worked with the Election Assistance Commission to teach students how to oversee election law.
