赌博娱乐平台网址大全 Receives Gold Seal Award for Student Voter Participation Efforts
2021 ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge encourages student voter engagement

赌博平台网站大全 received the 2021 Gold Seal award for nonpartisan student voter participation from the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, a national program that recognizes exceptional student voter engagement during the 2020 presidential election.

The 2020 presidential election engaged the largest and most diverse group of college students in U.S. 历史. More than 840 institutions enrolling close to nine million students participated in the ALL IN Challenge. Universities achieving a gold seal had a student voting rate between 70% and 79% during the 2020 presidential election.

In 2020, 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 students increased their presidential election voting rate to 75.6%, up 22.9% from the previous presidential election in 2016. That compares with an average voting rate of 69% for similarly classified universities. Furthermore, 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 increased its number of eligible registered voters to 93.从86降到3%.8% in 2016, and raised the number of male student voters from 39.9% to 67% over the same period.

In 2019, 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 initiated the TU 2020 Census and 选民的参与 Task Force, composed of a mix of students, 教师, 和工作人员. The task force met virtually every two weeks ahead of the 2020 election and led voter registration drives and competitions, created social media content and lectures to promote voting, and held a couple of in-person events such as driving voters to the polls. 

“It is incredible that even in the midst of a pandemic, 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 came together as a community to make our voices heard,” says Brian Yancelson ’22, a member of the task force. “People like to say college students don’t vote, but we proved that when real attention is paid to engaging everyone, college students will meet the moment.”

The data was collected by Tufts University’s Institute for Democracy and Higher Education (IDHE) and provided through the National Study of Learning, 投票, and Engagement (NSLVE) reports that give college campuses a unique opportunity to benchmark their democratic engagement efforts.
