It may not seem like it, but the 2014 elections are right around the corner. It’s time to start planning your fall election projects now.
Mobilizing students to vote is one of the best ways that you can strengthen the student voice. If college students want their voices heard by elected officials, they need to turn out at the polls.
That’s why we’ve partnered with the Student PIRGs’ New Voters Project to provide the nation’s premier nonpartisan training on how to run effective campus voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives. The New Voters Project is the nation’s leading nonpartisan young voter mobilization program. Since 1983, they have helped to register more than 1.2 million young voters and make more than a million personalized get-out-the-vote contacts.
Our Student Vote training offers student governments important skills, including how to:
- Build a broad Student Vote coalition of campus organizations;
- Plan and carry out a huge voter registration drive;
- Make effective get-out-the-vote reminders leading up to Election Day; and
- Utilize online voter registration tools.
