Deputy Coordinator for PA, Campus Vote Project – Apr 29

Campus Vote Project (CVP) was launched in 2012 by Fair Elections Center to expand our work on student voting issues.  We work with universities, community colleges, faculty, students, and election officials to reduce barriers to student voting. CVP helps campuses institutionalize reforms that empower students with the information they need to register and vote. Campus Vote Project Deputy Coordinators have four main areas of focus: institutionalizing voter engagement, providing up-to-date election information, developing student leaders and supporting on-campus early voting advocacy.
