The following resources are available for all members of the Illinois State community to utilize as they support and encourage election engagement.
Would you like someone to come to your meeting or class to talk about voter registration or other election information? Voter Engagement Coalition members and election interns would be happy to speak. Please use our presentation request form and someone will follow up with you.
Utilize these resources while planning classroom activities/assignments or co-curricular activities.
NOTE: It is a violation of Illinois election code to offer extra credit for students to register to vote or vote. Voter registration and voting cannot be incentivized. This is also an equity issue if students are not able to vote. An alternative would be a brief writing prompt or video response where students answer a question - What is an issue that is important to you and how could voting or other forms of political engagement help support your views? Why do you think some people register to vote and vote, while others do not? Describe your views on elections.
