Our Mission

MSUvote is a non-partisan campus committee whose mission it is to increase the number of registered student voters, to inform and educate students on candidates and issues, and to bolster student participation on Election Day. This is where our “registration, education, and participation” slogan comes from.

MSUvote hosts, sponsors, and promotes a variety of activities, including:

• Voter registration and education drives

• Connecting local clerks to student organizations in order to increase registration

• Registering students at orientation

• Sponsoring the Secretary of State’s Mobile Unit on campus

• Hosting, sponsoring or supporting debate watch activities, candidate and issue forums

• Encouraging turnout on Election Day and celebrating student voters through events

We are also proud to be connected to many organizations and initiatives nationwide. We partner with Campus Election Engagement Project, The Campus Vote Project, The League of Women Voters and are part of the 1,000 member schools of The Institute for Democracy and Higher Education. MSU has also been designated a Voter Friendly Campus every year since the program’s creation in 2016!

Why We Matter

Every election presents a unique opportunity for college students to make their voice heard- that is especially true in this year’s local and national elections. MSUvote is committed to registering Spartans to vote, educating students on the issues, and ensuring that Spartans are participating in the election process.
