WSU Sponsors ‘Privilege to Vote’ Concert, Constitution Week to Motivate Millennials In the 2014 midterm elections only 19.9 percent of voters age 18 to 29 cast a ballot—the lowest youth turnout rate ever recorded in a federal election. Weber State University will host several events and initiatives during Constitution Week to inspire the campus community, particularly students, to get engaged in the democratic process and exercise their right to vote in every election. The university has pledged this year to become a “Voter Friendly Campus”—a national designation and part of the “ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge.” Events begin Sept. 14 with a Constitution Day address and continue through the evening of Sept. 16 with the Bob Moses “Privilege to Vote” concert and discussion at the Ogden Amphitheater. All events are free and will include voter registration opportunities. Constitution Week - Every year Weber State participates in Constitution Week, emphasizing voter engagement, voter education, and voter registration. This year the university will tackle the issue of America’s continuing history of voter suppression. The public is invited to the free Constitution Day address by renowned scholar and activist Laughlin McDonald, Sept. 14 at 11:30 a.m. in the Shepherd Union Wildcat Theater. Voter Registration Simulation - Weber State students will get an understanding of the difficulty and impediments that citizens of certain states face when trying to vote, during a voter registration simulation event in the Wasatch Stewart Hall Rec Center, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. Utah has relatively easy registration rules, so students will try to register as though living in states where registration is difficult. Students will then participate in a facilitated discussion on how registration can impede voting and why that matters. Bob Moses Rock the Vote Constitution Day Concert - Constitution Week events will conclude with a voter registration concert and conversation the evening of Sept. 16 at the Ogden Amphitheater (343 E. 25th St., Ogden). The event begins at 6:00 p.m. with a moderated, casual community conversation about voting. Those in attendance will be asked to share their passion for civic engagement and voting. The free concert begins at 7:00 p.m. with The Brocks warming up for the headliner band Bob Moses, who appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in August.
