The University of Maine has been designated as a voter friendly campus for 2021â2022, according to the Campus Vote Project and the NASPA â Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. These nonpartisan, national organizations seek to involve college students in the political process to foster lifelong civic engagement.
The Voter Friendly Campus designation is earned by establishing institutional accountability for student engagement at higher education institutions. Applicants must set goals, develop and implement action plans to motivate and sustain student voting, and evaluate their strategies after a general election to improve student voter turnout.
In 2019â20, the last national general election year, 124 U.S. colleges and universities earned the voter friendly designation; no Maine institutions were among them.
