Important Election Dates for Fall 2022:


Constitution Week at MTSU this fall is Sept. 12-16, 2022. Since Sept. 17, actual Constitution Day, falls on a Saturday this year, MTSU is hosting its Constitution Week activities the days prior. Details to follow.

 

To boost and encourage student voter registration and active voter participation, MTSU is again competing in the all-Tennessee-university State Voting Challenge (which we have won every year) and the Conference USA Voting Challenge (which we have yet to win), in direct competition with WKU. National Study of Learning Voting and Engagement data inform us that 64% of MTSU students voted in 2020, below the national university-student participation average. Growth is our objective. Please help our students understand the importance and urgency of the interim election cycle, help them get registered, and incentivize them to get to the polls during Early Voting.

 

Every student needs to develop a personal Voting Plan, of where to vote, thus where to register, and calendaring when to vote. So please Ask Every Student their plan. Remember that in Tennessee students must vote in the county in which they are registered. And students actually vote in the county where they sleep at night M-F. With a Tennessee Driver’s License, it’s easy for non-commuting students to re-register online in Rutherford County where they can vote in person if they live here. Out-of-state students with a passport who live here can also vote here, registering on a paper form. American Democracy Project is ready to assist every student in every way possible.

 

Thank you for taking seriously your responsibilities as citizens in our participatory democracy. The pattern set in college lasts a lifetime.
