What is CollegeVote.com?
Our goal is to drastically increase voter turnout in student government elections across the nation. We hope to accomplish this by providing the following services:

• allowing student governments to hold their elections over the Internet, eliminating the need for central voting locations, and making it easier for students to vote. [ Click here to find out how easy it is to vote online! ]

Why did we create CollegeVote.com?
Those of us who created CollegeVote.com are all members of the community of the University at Buffalo. In the spring of 2002, there were some very public problems with our Student Government elections. In addition, our school has had chronically low voter turnout, and this greatly bothered us.

Talking to students we know at other schools, it became clear that such problems were not isolated to our University. Based on these observations, a group of us got together in the fall of 2002 and began working on a solution to the problems.


How does CollegeVote.com run successful elections?
In March of 2001, the Report of the National Workshop on Internet Voting was published. This report was put forth by the Internet Policy Institute and sponsored by the National Science Foundation. At this workshop, a panel of national experts identified 12 vital criteria that any successful election system must meet.
