KFTC registers 252 voters at EKU

Last week, the Madison County chapter of KFTC partnered with Eastern Kentucky University for a Rock the Vote festival on campus. Despite the rain, hundreds of students gathered for a cookout and live music. Chapter members Margaret Ricketts and David Fields, along with student volunteers, registered two hundred fifty-two voters over the course of the day.

At lunch the rush to register was so long that a registration table and clipboards in the crowd still left people in line. But they waited patiently. Many students were excited about the opportunity to vote in their first presidential election. 

“Thank you all so much for coming out,” said Brian Perry, assistant director of Service Initiatives. “Hopefully we can collaborate on future projects.” All in all, it was an exciting and fun day.
