Description

Our department has played a large role in this area as we have worked with students as they have proposed and developed a student, on-campus precinct for elections. Over 2200 students have registered to vote locally and over 1100 of these students voted in the spring Virginia preliminaries this past spring. It will be telling to see how these efforts continue to pay off with the national general election coming in November.
