A Message to the University

Borrowing suggestions and input from other universities, our group is working round-the-clock in tandem with faculty and administrators to tackle the following measures by the next election cycle:


  • Encourage faculty and staff members to discuss incorporate the importance of voting at least once during the semester
  • Incentivize students to register and vote by offering extra credit points
  • Send out email reminders to students before registration periods end and when early voting begins
  • Reiterate via email, Twitter, or mobile alert where students can vote on and before Election Day
  • Invite engaging speakers and guests to come to campus to generate enthusiasm about voting and elections
  • Include voter registration tables at orientation and the First-Look Fair as well as at Debate Watch Parties
  • Urge students to use the Toolkit as a resource via Canvas, social media, mobile alert, and email
