VOTE Coalition, a program organized by student groups on campus, has registered more than 10,000 people in the Madison area.
The Associated Students of Madison led the organization with the help of other student groups. The groups include the India Student Association, United Council, UW Nursing Association, WISPIRG's New Voters Project, Multicultural Student Coalition and Progressive Future.
Matt Wendt, chair of VOTE Coalition, said ASM played a large role in initiative. Serving as a moderator, ASM made sure everyone was on the same page, set up events and collaborated with other organizations for their events,"" Wendt said in a statement.
According to Wendt, VOTE Coalition registered 10,558 voters, who have the opportunity to cast a ballot for president and other offices on Election Day.
ASM is also working with Get Out The Vote, a program on campus to educate voters and provide them with specific tips and information about polling locations.
