With the upcoming primary elec
tion just three weeks away, today is
the last day students can register to
vote or change party affiliation for
the May 21 primary.
Attempting to raise student
turnout in the election, several stu
dent groups have been approaching
on campus passersby asking them to
register. A coalition of campus organ
izations, headed by OSPERG, had reg
istered 356 students as of Monday.
The ASUO has also aided in the
process, registering 315 students.
Jo Voss, a full-time OSPIRG cam
pus organizer, said her group, along
with College Democrats, College Re
publicans, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexu
al, Transgender, Queer Alliance and
the Alpha Chi Omega sorority, set

an initial goal to register 400 stu
dents, while the ASUO hoped to
bring in another 1,000.
Sandy Newton, ASUO state affairs
coordinator, said that the goal wasn’t
realistic. She said ASUO now hopes
to combine with the other groups to
register a total of 1,000 students.
“It’s been challenging this pri
mary,” said Newton, a sophomore
political science major.
The ASUO reported registering
about 400 people in the months lead
ing into the May 2000 primary election.
Capital izing on voter interest during the
presidential election, the ASUO regis
tered nearly 6,000 voters for the No
vember 2000 general election.
Mike Linman, co-chairman of
College Democrats, said he has been
trying to raise voter awareness and
registration since Earth Day festivi
ties April 22. Linman said it has
been difficult to register voters be
cause many students think they’re
being asked to sign a petition and
because some students think that
their vote doesn’t make a difference.
“It would be a vastly different po
litical scene if more students voted,”
said Linman, a junior majoring in fi
nance and Japanese. “Students can
make a huge difference, yet we’re in
credibly under-represented. ”
Political affiliation aside, “all I
want is for students to vote,” he said.
Megan Edgar, an undeclared
freshman, registered Monday to
vote in her first Oregon election.
“It’s silly not to vote,” said Edgar,
who described herself as a “little
bit” politically minded. “We live in
a democracy, and if we don’t take
part in it, it’s silly.”
Annette Newingham, chief deputy
county clerk for Lane County Elections,
said about 179,000 citizens are regis
tered to vote in the primary election.
Historically, Newingham said, a
50 percent turnout is high for pri
mary elections.
In the May 2000 primary election,
which featured U.S. presidential
candidates, 173,577 voters were
registered in Lane County, with a 5 7
percent turnout, Newingham said.
In May 1998, the last gubernatori
al primary election, about 35 per
cent of the 189,669 registered voters
turned out, she said.
To participate in this May’s pri
mary election, students who are^ot
registered tq. vote must complete
registration cards and postmark
them with today’s date. Voters who
wish to change party affiliation
must have registration cards deliv
ered by today, however. If already
registered, students can make ad
dress changes until election day. If
unsure about registration status,
Newingham suggests students call
Lane County Elections at 682-4234.
To register to vote in Oregon,
students must be 18 or older, a
U.S. citizen and a resident of
Oregon.
