Vote!

A note from the provost:

You may have heard of MTSU’s 2018 True Blue Voter initiative, an important part of the University’s commitment to student voting. We’re engaged in a comprehensive program on campus to advance student involvement in this fall’s elections, toward which we have partnered with national civic and research organizations to guide us on best practices. You will be receiving emails from our office and the MTSU American Democracy Project this fall with reminders about voter registration, voter education, and getting to the polls.  

Voter registration is our first objective. We encourage all faculty to take 10-15 minutes in class at the beginning of the semester to get students to pull out laptops or phones to check their voter registration, to register, and/or to re-register now that they’re here. We have Q&A steps to help students think through their registration and voting options in order for them to become successful voters this fall. Have students start at our MTSU Register to Vote! button on the Provost’s website:

Also, in support of voter education, please consider including Constitution Day, Monday, September 17, and its Constitution readings in your syllabi.
