Tri-C Votes

It's time to get in the voting lane. Register by October 5th. #TriCVotes

In a Democracy - your vote is your voice. We are a nationally ranked institution in Student Voter Engagement and work to give you all the tools you need to succeed in our democracy and put your voice to use.

Tri-C is proud to work with the Fair Election Center's Campus Vote Project. Each year, students are chosen to work on campus with Government Relations as Democracy Fellows. Five students are serving in 2020.

Tri-C is one of only 124 Higher Ed institutions named as a Voter Friendly Campus in America - yay! We are working on carrying this tradition forward in the FY21-22 cohort.

We are honored to be one of only 31 Ask Every Student Codesigner Campuses in America - working together in 2020 to support student voter registration

The Voting Experience

A Student-Led Voting Event

In 2020, four Tri-C students - Arwa E., Charese H., Dalu O. and Sebastian C. - are serving as Democracy Fellows through Tri-C Government Relation's office in conjunction with the Fair Election Center's Campus Vote Project. Our collective goal - to help support student voter engagement. Through a series of student-hosted videos, we'll help you learn everything you need to know in order to vote and raise your voice in our Democracy.

In its third year, our annual pop-up voting event - The Voting Experience - will be fully virtual. It launches September 17, Constitution Day, with new student-led videos added through September 22, National Voter Registration Day.

Do you have questions on voting? Stop by The Voting Experience ... and enjoy a project for students, by students. In a short time, you can learn what you need to know. Head to The Voting Experience Playlist - our full YouTube video series.
