“Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” ~Franklin Delano Roosevelt
MiddVote is a nonpartisan student initiative at the Center for Community Engagement. Our goal is to mobilize students to be active participants in our democracy.
We seek to facilitate the voting process for students, from supporting registration to providing transportation to the polls on Election Day. In advance of midterm and presidential elections, we host registration drives across campus to meet students where it is most convenient.
“For this Nation to remain true to its principles, we cannot allow any American’s vote to be denied, diluted, or defiled. The right to vote is the crown jewel of American liberties, and we will not see its luster diminished.” ~Ronald Reagan
