The Voting Experience

The Voting Experience: An annual student-led voting event

Four Tri-C scholars, Ade A., Arman S., Donte J., and Samantha F. are serving as Campus Vote Project Democracy Fellows at Tri-C for 2022. They work with Tri-C Government Relations for the calendar year engaging in nonpartisan, peer-to-peer student voter engagement.

Our annual voting event, The Voting Experience - for students, by students - will be held for the fifth year,  launching online on Constitution Day (Sept. 17), with new student-led videos added through National Voter Registration Day (Sept. 20). The branded, pop-up voting event serves as an ever-growing legacy project for each cohort of Campus Vote Project Democracy Fellows serving at Tri-C. It also supports Tri-C's role as a Voter Friendly Campus and an Ask Every Student Codesigner Campus.

Celebrate Civic Holidays

National Voter Registration Day (NVRD)

Tri-C is proud to be a national community partner in this annual effort to raise up voter registration in America. NVRD generally takes place the third or fourth Tuesday of September.

Click the box below to view key voting dates and learn how to register. We'll also guide you through the three ways to vote: Early in-person voting at the Board of Elections, Vote-by-mail and Nov. 8 election day in-person voting.

Tri-C celebrates many civic holidays in addition to National Voter Registration Day – days set aside to focus on voting and voter education.

• Constitution Day – Sept. 17: Kicks off The Voting Experience at Tri-C each year.
• National Voter Education Week – Oct. 3-7: Join the fun for five days of voter education posts across social media.
• National Vote Early Day – Oct. 28: Tri-C is a community champion in this effort to encourage return of vote-by-mail ballots early, giving the post office time to get your ballot back.
