Emory Votes Initiative

Your vote is your voice, and Emory takes seriously its responsibility to help you express it. The Emory Votes Initiative fosters a more engaged campus by providing nonpartisan voter information, supporting voter turnout, and empowering our community with credible resources. Young people are traditionally underrepresented in civic life. EVI helps set active civic engagement habits early in adulthood so all students graduate as lifelong involved global citizens.

Path to the Polls

To make voting as easy as possible, the Emory Votes Initiative spells out the steps: sign up for TurboVote’s help, register to vote, stay current, request an absentee ballot, and vote successfully!
