WHO WE ARE

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION:    UT Votes is a student organization at the University of Texas at Austin that invites undergraduates campus wide to increase electoral participation and create more voters and better citizens. Each election cycle, UT Votes, in partnership with the Annette Strauss Institute, organizes and coordinates Get Out the Vote activities including registration booths, deputization sessions, and campus competitions.

GET INVOLVED:   UT Votes is currently recruiting new members and officers for Fall 2012-Spring 2013! If you are a UT undergraduate and looking to step up as a leader on campus, this nonpartisan organization is a great way to do it. This semester, UT Votes will focus on assembling a group of politically conscious individuals to gear up for the local elections in May and to start planning future nonpartisan civic engagement activities. Contact Ashlyn at utvotes@gmail.com to get involved today!

Did you know that only 8-10% of Austinites vote in local elections?  The University of Texas is one of the least represented portions of the city.   Don't be left out, Get Registered and Vote!
