The association in January announced the Keep N.C. Educated campaign, designed to rally students to lobby legislators and vote in elections.
ASG President Jonathan Ducote said that many schools' campaign efforts have tapered off but that Fayetteville State has not fallen prey to this trend.
The university's student government officials, who have been active in Fayetteville since the summer, held a voter registration barbecue Wednesday.
"Somebody has to take the lead, and if it has to be Fayetteville State, we have no qualms about that," said Fayetteville State Student Body President Deon Winchester.
He said student leaders primarily are concerned with registering students to vote, not with influencing politicians.
Winchester said the university's student leaders targeted freshmen and sophomores, urging them to register before the Sept. 10 primaries.
"We're not only educating students about the rising costs of tuition but also the importance of voting in North Carolina," Winchester said. "We registered a lot of our local students who might not (have been) able to vote in North Carolina."
Winchester said it is important for students to elect state officials who are dedicated to keeping tuition low at Fayetteville State.
"If you look at tuition across the UNC system, (Fayetteville State) has one of the lowest tuition rates," he said. "This has been one of the strong points."
