7 Key Ways Students Can Act To Stimulate Electoral Engagement On CampusBonner Foundation
Campus Election Engagement Project (CEEP) works with campus administrators, faculty, staff, and student leaders, helping them engage their students in local, state and federal elections. Student voting doesn’t just happen. It takes cultivation. We’ve developed seven key areas of electoral engagement to create a roadmap for increasing your level of success, areas that complement each other as you effectively engage your campus. Our approaches address all the key barriers to participation, from lack of information about the election process, to student cynicism about whether their voices matter. You don’t have to do everything on this list to make a major difference, but these approaches reinforce each other, so it’s crucial to address all seven areas — choosing approaches that fit your campus best.
