A recent survey from CIRCLE found that nearly half of people under 35 who didn’t vote in 2024 said they heard little to nothing about how to vote. By helping spread clear, accessible, and nonpartisan voting information, these students are empowering their peers to make their voices heard.
In total, 232 college students nationwide were named to ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge’s 2025 Student Voting Honor Roll.
