University of Wisconsin student protestors gathered at the Capitol Tuesday night to demonstrate their opposition to a bill amended by the Assembly that will require students to vote according to the address listed on their drivers’ licenses.

While the bill passed the Senate on Feb. 9, the Assembly passed an amended version early Wednesday morning, sending it back to the Senate for another vote. The Assembly passed the legislation with a 56-38 vote, including four Republicans in opposition.

An invite sent out to students via Facebook urged participants to gather at the Capitol Tuesday night to protest the bill. The invite stated the bill “disfranchised” students and encouraged students to stand up for their right to vote during the Assembly session so they can vote where they live nine to 12 months out of the year.

University Affairs Chair Sally Rohrer said the bill was “sneakily” passed through the Senate Feb. 9 before it could garner a lot of media attention.

Rohrer said the group wanted to demonstrate to the Assembly students are watching, and they want other students to realize how this would affect their ability to vote.

“When we heard about the bill when it was passed on [Feb. 9] we said, ‘Oh my gosh, we need people to know about this, they need to know that this is going to severely disfranchise students,'” Rohrer said.

Rohrer said several of the representatives that they called to talk about the bill were not aware of how the bill would affect students.

Some of the most civically engaged people and the people that change elections are students, student protest supporter Ella Sklaw said. Voting is incredibly important, but only about 50 percent of the country votes.

“Voting should be a right, but in this country it is like a privilege,” Sklaw said.

It is a person’s right to vote and it needs to be said again and again, student supporter Ava Duren said.

A hundred years ago women didn’t have the right to vote — 50 years ago many students of color that are leaders of the Black Out movement didn’t have the right to vote, Sklaw said.

Though many people will claim that the fight to vote is over, it’s 2016 and people are still coming together to fight for their right to vote, Duren said.

“We want to vote, we are in Wisconsin, we want to vote,” Sklaw said.

The bill eliminates the Special Registration Deputy position.
