Clayton County’s Youth Commission hosted a party Tuesday to boost involvement in the upcoming presidential election by inviting young people to become registered voters. 

On the campus of Clayton State University, a DJ blasts popular Hip-Hop music as people slowly trickle into one of the rooms in the student activities center. 

Throughout the space, there are several tables and games like cornhole and giant connect four lining the walls. Youth commissioners in purple shirts buzz through to talk with students.
