Indiana Secretary of State to present "Why You Should Vote"

October 14, 2016

Connie Lawson, Indiana's 61st Secretary of State, will present "Why You Should Vote" at 1 p.m. Thursday, October 20 in Traditions Lounge located in University Center East on the University of Southern Indiana campus. The event is free and open to the public as space allows.

As Indiana's Chief Elections Official, Lawson is focused on ensuring the integrity and security for our state's elections. Since taking office, she  has championed sweeping election reforms and has led the effort to clean Indiana's voter rolls. Secretary Lawson's presentation will focus on the role of the election office and the importance of participating in the voting process.

Prior to serving as Secretary of State, Lawson served in the Indiana Senate for sixteen years, where she accomplished significant legislative success. Respected across the aisle, she quickly earned the admiration of her colleagues and made history in 2006 when she was selected as the first woman to serve as Majority Floor Leader in the Indiana Senate. Before joining the Indiana Senate, Lawson served as Clerk of the Hendricks County Circuit Court for eight years.

This presentation is part of USI's Squawk the Vote voter registration and education campaign. For more information, contact USI at usimedia@usi.edu or 812-461-5259.
