PITTSBURGH, Pa., October 29, 2008 - The Student Vote Coalition run by the Student Government Board has put together a map of voting locations on campus and across the city. On the map, each voting district is outlined and the polling location is labeled with a similarly colored flag. Additionally, by going to "view larger map" and using the scroll bar on the left, each district is labeled along with the polling location for addresses in that district. Note that all boundaries are approximate and for more specific information about where to vote, students should first look to their Voter Registration Card or call 1-877-VOTES-PA. We are encouraging all students to participate in this year‘s election by voting on November 4th. The polls are open from 7am to 8pm.

ABOUT STUDENT GOVERNMENT BOARD - The Student Government Board exists to provide undergraduate, non-CGS students with representation as a student voice to University administration. The SGB represents the needs, interests, and concerns of all Pitt students. Another important aspect of the SGB is allocation of the student activities fee, which provides money to over 350 student organizations at the University of Pittsburgh.

The board is comprised of one President and eight Board Members, all elected by the student body. The SGB also has ten standing committees who address various aspects of campus life, including diversity, freshman involvement, and governmental relations.
