Updating “Your Major on the Ballot” for 2024

Posted by Students Learn Students Vote Coalition on August 13, 2024

The Ask Every Student team is working to update one of its most popular resources, Your Major on the Ballot, which connects different academic disciplines to issues that may be on the ballot. (We’ve seen that this is a great way to motivate students and demonstrate the importance of voting, especially for historically low-turnout majors like STEM fields). We’re looking for folks to review and edit sections of the current resource for specific majors in which they have experience.

There is a template for the edits (that you can see here for reference) to make it as easy as possible and should only take around an hour or so of folks’ time. We’re hoping to have folks do this within the next two weeks, but the timeline is flexible! We’re especially looking for folks with experience in Psychology, Data Science, Urban Planning/Architecture, History, Foreign Languages, and Healthcare (Medicine, Nursing, Dental) fields to help edit those sections of this resource, but we’re open to folks in other fields if they’re interested in helping!

Please spread the word, and if you or anyone you know would be able to support this, please contact us at  [email protected]!
