Voter Registration

Introduction

In 2000, the Institute of Politics began a voter registration initiative on the Harvard campus when it realized that a significant portion of the undergraduate student body came to campus not registered to vote. Over the course of the past six years, the program has expanded, and in that short time, the percentage of students registered to vote has seen a dramatic increase. This guide offers our model. With the help of students Jonathan Chavez and Emily Nielson, we developed a system that works for our campus. This is not meant to be a comprehensive guide nor the only way in which voter registration can work on a campus; it is simply the model that has worked at Harvard. We hope it will serve as a starting point for you to plan your voter registration and mobilization program.
