Preparing for Student Voter Engagement in 2026
As campuses begin planning for the upcoming academic year, Triple C is partnering with All Voting is Local and Fair Elections Center’s Campus Vote Project to host a Student Voter Engagement Roundtable for member campuses.
The virtual discussion will provide an opportunity for campuses to share strategies, discuss challenges, and learn from one another as they continue efforts to strengthen student participation in our democracy.
In addition, Triple C is celebrating member campuses and student leaders recognized through the 2026 ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge. Several member institutions received recognition for their commitment to nonpartisan civic engagement and student voter participation, demonstrating the important role Ohio colleges and universities play in supporting democratic engagement.
