Rack the Vote

Rack the Vote

Based on new data from the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement, 76 percent of college students were registered to vote in the 2024 presidential election, but only 53 percent of all eligible students aged 18 to 29 voted. We still have a lot of room to grow when it comes to making our voices heard. Your voice and your vote matter.
