Each year, the Student Government Association’s (SGA) government relations committee and the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity team up to host Wreck the Vote, a campuswide voter registration drive. This year, Wreck the Vote will also include helping people request their absentee ballots, check their voter registration, and find their polling place.

SGA will be tabling on Skiles Walkway from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 16, to pass out information and answer questions. Meanwhile, Alpha Phi Alpha will be holding virtual office hours from 1 to 2 p.m. Sept. 15-17 so that students, faculty, and staff can ask questions without any face-to-face interaction.

Wreck the Vote week will culminate in a debate on Thursday, Sept. 17, between Georgia Tech’s four political student organizations: College Democrats, College Republicans, Young Democratic Socialists of America, and Young Americans for Liberty. The debate will be streamed over BlueJeans starting at 6 p.m.
