2021 Survey of Nonpartisan Student Voting Groups

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge (ALL IN) has an interest in learning more about and supporting student-led nonpartisan voter engagement groups and their efforts in 2020, specifically about the collaboration and coordination these efforts have with various campus constituents (e.g., administrators, faculty, students, community members).

ALL IN hopes to better understand student-led nonpartisan voter engagement efforts and help identify ways that campuses can support, engage with, and institutionalize these groups. With the information collected from this survey, filled out by student group leaders, and interviews with student groups across the country, ALL IN will create a memo and toolkit to be distributed to campus contacts at institutions across the country. Findings will also be presented during a webinar with insights and promising practices for campuses to consider to engage with and support student-led nonpartisan voter engagement efforts.

This survey should be completed by students involved in nonpartisan student voting efforts on campus. Preferably, a nonpartisan student voting group would submit one response for their group.

Deadline to complete the survey is March 22, 2021.
