In the 2016 presidential election, approximately 100 million eligible voters did not show up to the polls.

The original deadline to register to vote in Arizona’s general election was Oct. 5. It was extended to Oct. 23 but was later changed to Oct. 15. Since the extension, The Arizona Students’ Association (ASA) registered 148 students and counting across the state.
