State and City Campus Voting Challenges

State and City Campus Voting Challenges are nonpartisan recognition programs for higher education institutions in a particular state or city with a commitment to increasing student voter participation and engagement on campuses across the state or city. Departments of State, Secretaries of State, and nonprofit partners co-facilitate the voting challenges in collaboration with the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge.

Participation in the national ALL IN Challenge will automatically include participation in a state or city challenge. Institutions that opt into the state challenges will be provided guidance and tools to create a democratic engagement action plan for increasing student engagement on their campus.

“The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge has been a truly great partner in helping us to expand voter registration and nonpartisan engagement among our college students across New Jersey. Our combined efforts in conducting the Department of State’s annual NJ Ballot Bowl competition along with the ALL IN NJ Campus Voting Challenge enable us to fulfill a critical core mission – promoting nonpartisan civic engagement through voting, particularly among our college student voters.”

“The Michigan Department of State has partnered with the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge since 2019 on the nonpartisan Michigan Collegiate Voting Challenge, which provides support and recognition to Michigan colleges and universities to increase student voter engagement. Through our partnership with ALL IN, we’ve been able to provide nonpartisan voter engagement support and tools as well as trusted election information to Michigan institutions. Since the launch of the Michigan Collegiate Voting Challenge, our engagement with campuses, through efforts like the Michigan Collegiate Student Voting Task Force, has continued to increase each year.”
