Time is running out. If you haven’t registered yet, you better get up off your butt.

This week is the last week to register to vote in Story County.

Many students may argue that since there are so many people in this country their individual votes will not matter.

Story County Auditor Judy Emmons is concerned with the number of students that are registered to vote in Story County. She would like to see more register and vote in Story County opposed to their home state or county, so they may take a more active role in the local issues that affect them while they are in school.

“You hear a lot of people say that they don’t know what’s going on or they don’t take the time to find out. But students can really make a difference,” she said.

Emmons feels that if students are upset about certain issues they should work to get them changed.

The challenge, Emmons said, is getting students to vote after they are registered.
