Guttman Votes: Speak Up and Be Heard
Guttman Community College exemplifies CUNY’s long-standing commitment to promoting voter participation. The Voter Registration and Empowerment Initiative creates and implements a plan each year to ensure that all students, faculty, and staff at Guttman Community College receive information about voter registration, voter rights, and the poll worker initiative.
We strive to empower the Guttman Community to take advantage of the right to vote, to use one’s voice, and to vote regularly.
