This upcoming November marks a turning point in the lives of every single person living in America. After the past four years, it is encouraged that every eligible student registers to vote if they turn 18 before Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020, because every voice matters. This year’s top candidates are Donald Trump, a representative of the Republican party running for re-election and Joe Biden, a representative of the Democratic party running for the 1st time. It is understandable that not all students are involved in politics so because of that I’ve compiled a list of each candidate’s main policies. Scroll down to access a quick voter registration that will take no more than 2 minutes.
