Model II: for Voter Registration on Campus

Model II: Small College Campuses

A smaller campus reaches students directly during pre-registration and registration. Students are directed to a voter registration table when they pick up their financial aid packages or pay their tuition. Additionally, voter registration forms are placed in the mailboxes of students who are late registrants. As an extra measure, out of state students fill out cards and their request for absentee ballots are forwarded to the proper local election office.

A first-rate education, includes civic responsibility as well as academic preparation.... With the right programs in place, our schools can provide a wonderful opportunity for students to come together and learn the skills that will keep our democracy strong."

-Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education
