Oct. 17 is the deadline to register to vote in Massachusetts for the presidential election.
The registration campaign will culminate Oct. 15 with a day of politics and games sponsored by Harvard Youth for Political Empowerment (HYPE).
The event will include carnival games, political speakers and booths manned by politically involved student groups, as well as a They Might Be Giants concert. The three-hour festival will also feature booths giving students one last chance to register to vote.
Lisa B. Schwartz '03, one of the carnival organizers, stressed that the day is meant to encourage participation in this election and increase political enthusiasm in general.
"The purpose [of HYPE day] is to energize and excite Harvard students about the upcoming election," Schwartz said.
"It's just a fun day so people can see how getting involved can be a fun experience."
