Tarleton State University has been recognized by the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge (ALL IN) as a 2024 ALL IN Most Engaged Campus for College Student Voting.
The award recognizes colleges and universities for outstanding efforts to increase nonpartisan student voter participation.
“This recognition should make all the work more visible on a university-wide level and hopefully be even more impactful,” said Dr. Casey Thompson, Assistant Professor of Legal Studies at Tarleton State.
Tarleton State joins a group of 471 colleges and universities recognized by ALL IN for completing four core actions: — Participating in the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge — Sharing 2022 National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement reports with campus voting data with ALL IN — Developing and submitting a 2024 democratic engagement action plan with ALL IN “The research is clear: colleges and universities that make intentional efforts to increase nonpartisan democratic engagement have higher campus voter registration and voter turnout rates,” said Jennifer Domagel-Goldman, Executive Director of the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge. “This year we saw more colleges than ever before step up their efforts to ensure that their students were registered and ready to make their voices heard at the ballot box. These Most Engaged Campuses are setting the standard for nonpartisan civic engagement work for colleges and universities across the country.”
