College Students for the Win

College students have a voting privilege almost no one else has.

The majority of college students choose to live on/near campus, and they have the right to register to vote there – but, as an alternative, they retain the right to vote where they lived prior to college. This puts college students in a particularly powerful position, as they can choose to vote where their vote has maximum value.

Why Location Matters More Than Ever

When you live in areas where election outcomes are predetermined—whether heavily red or heavily blue—your individual vote can feel meaningless on the issues that matter most to your daily life.

In competitive swing areas, your voice is amplified. Every vote genuinely matters.

Elected officials must listen to ALL constituents, not just their base, creating opportunities for dialogue and compromise & helping build communities that are welcoming and safe for everyone.
