Increasing electoral engagement on college campuses is a team effort.\u00a0 One organization can not do this alone. CEEP\u2019s strategic 2021 focus is to maintain and grow the momentum from the 2020 Presidential election.\u00a0 One way CEEP is able to do this is by providing nonpartisan education materials on election logistics, candidates and voter ID laws.\u00a0 We are helping our campuses better understand their state voter ID laws so they can provide and encourage their students to register and vote in local elections. VoteRiders is a critical part of this effort.<\/p>\n<p>This year, CEEP is specifically working on engaging our campuses in local elections.\u00a0 Compared to older demographics, students are less likely to vote in local elections. Research shows students lack understanding of how local government impacts them as well as the information that would allow them to make informed choices on local candidates and issues.\u00a0 2021 is a key opportunity to help students connect local elections to their lives and values and to reinforce the habit of voting in every election.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4756 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/VoteRidersBlog_Campus_Otterbein.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/VoteRidersBlog_Campus_Otterbein.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/VoteRidersBlog_Campus_Otterbein-283x300.jpg 283w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic sparked student\u2019s interest in learning about the role of a county commissioner or the county board of health. The fight for racial equity and police reform is helping students make the link to city council members and their personnel and budget decisions.<\/p>\n<p>CEEP understands that student voters can make an important impact in 2021. Through our programs and initiatives, we will work to prevent both the significant drop in student voting that often occurs after a presidential election and the increasing number of laws restricting students&#8217; access to the ballot across the country. We will work to do this in conjunction with partners such as VoteRiders.\u00a0 This work is critical and CEEP, along with the continued support and partnership of VoteRiders, will continue to make a positive impact with today\u2019s college students.<\/p>\n<p><em>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/campuselect.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CampusElect.org<\/a> to learn more about CEEP.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest Post by Amy Ludwig, Executive Director of CEEP \u2013 \u201cAccess to voting is just as important as knowing who and what to vote for,\u201d stated Campus Election Engagement Project\u2019s Florida State University 2020 Fall Fellow Travis Waters.\u00a0 Travis Waters was instrumental this past fall in helping FSU place a signature strip on the back [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4795,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[280],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.4 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Engaging Campus Communities &#8226;
