We believe that students are NOT apathetic, contrary to popular opinion. We believe that sometimes students just forget to vote. Others are not in the right place at the right time. Others don't have time between classes or don't have enough information. Each of these nonvoting groups are very small, but together they have a huge effect on voter turnout! CollegeVote.com knows that if you can eliminate the barriers to vote, voter turnout will naturally increase!

Here's how Internet voting eliminates the barriers to vote
- Students can vote from any computer in the world with Internet access [ especially useful for students who study abroad ]
- Students feel more comfortable in front of a computer than inside a voting booth - Students do not need to go to a specific place
- Students do not need to wait in line
- Students can read about a candidate's views WHILE they are voting.
- Students will not be confused by our on-line screens as they could on a traditional system. Remember the hanging chads?
- It is impossible to fill out a ballot incorrectly.
- Students do not have to vote during normal business hours.
