Ball State is seeking donations for a nonpartisan voter engagement campaign for the 2024 election and beyond. Money raised from this fundraiser will be used to increase democratic engagement and to increase access to information on voting for students for the 2024 election.
Our voter engagement action plan includes multiple interconnected components. First, we will develop a Ball State Cardinals Vote! campaign as a comprehensive initiative designed to empower the campus and community with the knowledge and resources needed to engage in informed and active voting. The campaign will focus on voter education and election information designed to foster a more engaged and informed electorate. The second component will be a Democracy Fellows program. This program will offer a unique opportunity for select Ball State students who are dedicated to exploring and promoting democratic values, civic responsibility, and community engagement. This program will engage students in voter information campaigns and promote engage citizenship on our campus.
Goals: The primary goal of voter engagement action plan is to enhance understanding of democratic principles and civic engagement across the university. This campaign seeks to achieve the following goals:
Ball State is committed to a nonpartisan campaign focused on voter information. Our strategies and tactics focus on local, state, and federal elections. Ball State will focus on registering, educating, and providing election information for eligible students; and engaging all students in civic learning and the democratic process.
**Funds raised will be used for this project and other related program expenses.**
