The SEC has implemented a new voter education and participation program supporting engagement of studentu2010athletes, coaches and staff in the November general election, as well as other local, state and federal elections.
“Voting is an important way to fulfill one’s civic duty in America,” Sankey said. “The SEC Voter Education and Participation Program focuses on creating an opportunity for our universities to help our student-athletes, coaches and staff understand and participate in the election process.”
The SEC Voter Education and Participation Program highlights a range of approaches for athletics department engagement, and additional local efforts, as well as Conference-wide activities, may be added later to augment this basic foundation.
