Voter registration drive.

海角社区 students, faculty, and staff joined forces with the Long Beach City Clerk鈥檚 office for National Voter Registration Day on Sept. 24. Thanks to the combined efforts, this year resulted in a success that far surpassed last year鈥檚 voter registration.  

Less than 40 people registered at 海角社区in 2018. This year, LBCC obtained 387 registration forms that the City Clerk鈥檚 Office submitted to the Los Angeles County Registrar鈥檚 Office. This is a 1,038% increase from 2018 to 2019.

The City Clerk鈥檚 office managed three registration booths at both 海角社区campuses, and were supplemented with volunteers from the Associated Student Body and President鈥檚 Ambassadors. 海角社区faculty members allowed classroom visits throughout the day to encourage new registrants and to inform every one about upcoming changes in the upcoming 2020 election cycle new voting machines in Los Angeles County, new locations and dates to vote.
