Call for Proposals: 2026 National Student Vote Summit – Jul 21

Posted by Students Learn Students Vote Coalition on July 14, 2026

The Students Learn Students Vote (SLSV) Coalition is now accepting session and poster proposals for the 2026 National Student Vote Summit, taking place November 18-20 at Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona.

NSVS brings together practitioners, campus staff, faculty, nonprofit partners, local election officials, and students from across the country to share what’s working, what’s not, and where we go from here in nonpartisan student voter engagement. This is the first time the Summit comes to the Southwest, and the program aims to reflect the full range of voices and expertise doing this work nationwide.

Session proposals are open to campus admin, faculty, nonprofit staff, local election officials, and other civic engagement practitioners, with students welcome when submitting alongside a campus or nonprofit partner. Poster proposals are open to students focused on nonpartisan voter engagement work on their campus.

Proposal tracks include, but are not limited to: student leadership and organizing, voting rights and voter education, nonpartisan civic engagement beyond voting, institutionalization, creativity and storytelling, wellbeing, and navigating challenges.

The deadline for both is 11:59 PM PT on Tuesday, July 21, 2026.

PS: Travel Support is available on a limited basis, with priority given to Minority Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Community Colleges and Rural Serving Institutions. Deadline is August 16.  Learn more here!
