Why did you want to be a Student Election Engagement Fellow and assist with Mustangs Vote?
I feel inspired to help those who haven't registered to vote. The first time voting or voting from another state may be unfamiliar to a first-time voter. I want to help guide you through the process and exercise your rights.
