The Local Elections Engagement Guide is a comprehensive toolkit designed to help campus leaders, faculty, and organizations increase student participation in local and state elections. Developed by the Students Learn Students Vote (SLSV) Coalition's Local Elections Working Group, this resource addresses the unique challenges of engaging college students in elections that directly impact their daily lives but often receive less attention than national races.
This guide helps campus leaders make local democracy accessible and relevant to students, emphasizing how even temporary residents in campus communities have both the right and the reason to participate in local elections. With practical tools and nonpartisan messaging, the Local Elections Engagement Guide provides everything needed to help students understand that their votes matter—perhaps most of all in local elections where margins are often razor-thin and policies directly affect their campus experience.
Perfect for voter engagement coordinators, student affairs professionals, faculty members, student government leaders, and anyone committed to building a more participatory democracy on campus.
