How about this, JW.

Just so we can get every student registered to vote, let's have a registration and voting site in every dorm and every hall on the ASU campus.

Also, let's make it mandatory that the County Board of Elections send all ASU students a reminder every month to be sure to vote in all elections.

'Would that be satisfactory ?
