Voting registration continues for the next two weeks and any student who will turn 18 before the midterm elections Nov. 6 is encouraged to register so that they can vote. Everyone who does so will have a voice in who the state’s newest representatives will be.

Voting is an important base on which the democracy of the United States is built, and citizens who vote in this year’s elections will be deciding on U.S. Senators and Texas governors for their next terms.

These elections run parallel to elections occurring on a smaller scale at the school, with clubs such as FBLA, Environment Club and Leading Ladies choosing officers for the 2018-2019 school year.
