About
GW has one of the most politically active student bodies in the nation. GW Votes is a nonpartisan coalition of students, faculty and staff that promotes voter registration and participation among our students. In the 2020 election, 69% of eligible students voted on Election Day, nearly 12% more than in 2016!
Not sure where to register to vote? Check out Campus Vote Project's Voter Guide. If you need to register or request an absentee ballot you can do so using TurboVote.
TurboVote makes sure students always know when elections are happening and have the information they need to vote with confidence.
GW students can sign up to receive election reminders, get registered to vote and apply for their absentee ballot.
