Talking with students about voting

For this video, we asked students their thoughts on voter engagement and disengagement and why voting matters to them.

How to register to vote and vote

This video provides an overview of how to register to vote in Washington state and key things to know about how to vote at the UW. Links for students who are registered outside of Washington state are also included.

Democracy Dawgs is a coalition of students, staff, faculty, community members and civic leaders who are working to increase student voting rates and build an even stronger culture of civic and democratic engagement at the University of Washington. 

The Community Engagement and Leadership Education (CELE) Center at the University of Washington provides students with opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to contribute to thriving communities; building authentic community and campus partnerships drive our work.
