2012 PSSA November Election VOTER'S GUIDE!

Look for the print copy around campus in early November.
[
Printable - pdf]
[Instructions for two-sided printing]

[ONLINE VERSION TBA]

This voter’s guide is designed to assist North Georgia College and State University students in the November 6th election. Included is information on the Presidential election, contested US House of Representative districts, some state House and Senate information, and district maps for federal and state offices. Voter information is also provided.

This guide is a unique benefit to North Georgia students as the issues reprinted here were gathered from our students. In early 2012, responses to a Saint survey determined the issues. This guide presents candidate information for the three top responses.

We will do our best to provide as much information as possible given both space limitations and information availability. We apologize for any errors or omissions. Every effort was made to accurately represent candidate positions. Print copies of this guide were produced by NGCSU Print Services using funding from the SGA. The PSSA thanks both for their efforts.

To vote in the November 6th election, you must register by October 9th For registration information, see: http://sos.ga.gov/mvp/ NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all information is from candidates’ web sites.
