A) Raising Voter Turnout
Sen. Petrosyan: could we use absentee ballots to reach more voters. Chair: that’s not
really the intention of absentee ballots. Chair: we also have banners and flyers, and Tshirts. Petrosyan: the shirts have a lot of red on them and might be perceived as
supporting a party. Chair: I will look into changing them.

Still waiting to hear back from IT, would the walkway by the green be better or the café?
Amira: café would be better I think. Petrosyan: would it be possible to be inside the café?
