Harris, Black women leaders urge young people, women to register and vote ahead of midterm elections

Vice President Kamala Harris and advocacy groups marked National Voter Registration Day by doing outreach to voters seen as crucial to November’s midterm elections.

Vice President Kamala Harris commemorated National Voter Registration Day — Sept. 20, 2022 — on two HBCU campuses in South Carolina on Tuesday, urging Black college students to register and vote in November’s midterm election. 

“Your vote is your voice, and we need your voice. We need you to lead America forward,” Harris said during the fall convocation at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg. Harris also paid a visit to Claflin University, another Historically Black College and University that is separated from South Carolina State by only a fence in a city that is more than  today!
