2026 Student Voting Handbook

Posted by ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge on February 3, 2026

Looking for ways to boost nonpartisan voter participation on your campus this year? The 2026 edition of our Student Voting Handbook is here! Complete with important dates and ways to get involved, you can help your campus engage in 2026 elections and beyond.

The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge encourages active and informed participation in American democracy. Through Students Vote 2026, the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge provides institutions of higher education and their students with guidance and resources to promote nonpartisan voter registration and voting in 2026 elections.

This handbook is written as an aid to college leaders who not only think that educating students about voting is an essential and worthwhile undertaking for an institution of higher learning, but who are also willing to be part of that effort. The leaders in this effort could include individuals who are a part of your campus’ voting coalition, as well as the college president, other administrators, faculty members, student affairs staff, student groups, and community partners.

In this handbook, leaders will find important voting information to provide to students and ideas on how to communicate and to encourage their participation in 2026 elections. Together, college leaders across the country can remind, inform, and motivate a very large number of eligible students to vote in November 2026
