Students would have easy and open access to fact-based information on how
to register to vote, find information on the candidates and issues and
ultimately submit their ballots.
We work toward a “Whole Campus” model:
● Faculty, staff, students and community members have distinct and
defined roles in optimizing informed student voter turnout.
● Coordinated by a team and maintained by an office on campus.

coalition and write a plan.

“We really appreciated the CEEP Campus Election Engagement Assessment tool to identify
our current practices and identify new practices. I completed the assessment and also asked
my student leaders to complete it and we compared our results. We used our results to
assist with our goal setting for the upcoming election cycle and we’re excited about the new
practices we identified from the tool.” – Paul Valdez, Associate Director, Center for
Community and Civic Engagement, Bowling Green State University
