CollegeVote.com provides secure online elections for student governments. Our online voting system and research are all designed to end voter apathy and increase voter turnout.

 

According to C.D. Mote, Jr. in the Report of the National Workshop on Internet Voting... "In addition to adding convenience and precision, some believe that Internet Voting may reverse the historical and downward trend of voter turnout in the US"

To take this notion one step further, we make the voting process incredibly simple. Instead of having to bring voters to the election, we bring the election to the voters, right in their e-mail inbox!

What does a student actually have to do in order to vote?
1. Students receive an e-mail at their school account. That e-mail will tell them to visit our site where they can vote
2. On the site, they enter their e-mail address and one other identifying characteristic (determined by the student government
3. The student views the candidates, any description (like party or 100 word essay) and then casts their vote
4. When they are done, they click 'submit' and keep their browser open
5. We send the student an e-mail, with a verification code. The student then pastes the code into their browser window and then clicks 'submit'
6. That's it!


What do YOU as a Student Government leader have to do to run an election on CollegeVote.com?
Your end of the election is incredibly easy. Once you have decided to purchase an election on our site, we will need to collect some basic information from you, such as dates of your election, and the names of your candidates. You will then decide what other information you would like us to record on each candidate (for instance, what party do they belong to, or what is each candidate's personal web site address.

After this, all you have to do is collect a bit of information from each candidate, and send it to us.

That’s it! We will take care of the rest, and you can focus your energy on getting the word out about the election. Promote the election in the simplest way possible to your students by saying: "Check your e-mail on [date], and vote!"

To help you, the staff at CollegeVote.com is willing to work with you to help generate ideas for promoting your election. We want your election to be a success as much as you do.
