September is National Voter Registration Month. And as Americans, no right is more precious than the constitutional right to select our leaders. Yet many eligible Louisiana citizens are not even registered to vote.

With this in mind, Baton Rouge Community College (BRCC), hopes to increase the level of participation and engagement of the BRCC community in the upcoming elections by holding several Voter Registration Drives.

All BRCC, students, faculty, and staff, who attend the event will have access to voter registration forms, instructions, and eligibility resources.

The dates and times are listed below:

Wednesday, September 19, from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.,

Friday, September, 21, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tuesday, October 2, from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Wednesday, October 3, from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Thursday, October 4, from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
