ing, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE), which calculates college-specific
registration and voting rates. And they must
have made their 2018 and 2020 NSLVE data available to
the public. In short, schools need to have shown a repeated
commitment to increasing student voting-and have been
transparent about the results. We then ordered the list by
student voter registration rate.
Appalachian State University, near the top of the list,
illustrates the kind of tactics campuses can deploy to help
students cast ballots. As part of its campus voting action
plan for 2020 to 2023, the Boone, North Carolina, school
delivered a full-court press of voting events: film screenings,
debates, a lecture series, in-class presentations, virtual
events, and registration booths at college activities fairs.
Appalachian State also hired two fellows for its Campus
Election Engagement Project and secured grant funding for
another election fellow and other get-out-the-vote efforts.
As a result, this public school of 18,000 students, with an
80 percent acceptance rate, outperforms all the highly selective
Ivies on the list on voter registration, with a rate of
93.7 percent.
The honor roll saw new heights of student voter registration
in 2020, according to data that became available this
year. On the list of 230 schools, 127 had a registration rate of
85 percent or more-compared to only 16 such schools on
2021's honor roll-and 39 were over 90 percent. Participation
by universities is higher, too: 25 schools joined the list
this year, up from 205 on last year's honor roll.
Despite these promising results, there's more progress
to be made. This year's honor roll recognized 230
schools out of a total 850 that received consideration,
which means that three-quarters of institutions need to
do more to promote civic leadership on campus. Early indicators
like that Kennedy School survey from April suggest
that youth turnout may remain strong in 2022, but they
also warn that young people can't be taken for granted. In
that poll, likely young voters expressed increased agreement
with the statements " Political involvement rarely
has tangible results " (36 percent), " [Their vote] doesn't
make a difference " (42 percent), and " Politics today are no
longer able to meet the challenges our country is facing "
(56 percent). When it comes time to push through those
attitudes and get those voters to the polls, colleges are on
the front line.
