The Fight for a Polling Place     Where to Vote and How to Get There

Voting is one of the most fundamental rights...

...in a democratic society and we encourage all students to exercise the right to vote. The initiative facilitates voter registration for students, provides information about candidates, hosts forums in which candidates and students can meet, and protects the rights of students to vote and have their votes counted. Since 2014, the initiative has been led annually by Bard’s Vote Everywhere Ambassadors, undergraduate students selected by the Center for Civic Engagement and the Andrew Goodman Foundation.
