Civic Engagement Beyond Voting and The Civics Center are again partnering with the goal of getting every high school student in Arizona registered to vote.
“We are launching our high school voter registration challenge for spring, which is a program where we recruit and train high school students to run voter registration drives at their schools,” said Isabel Hiserodt, the Youth Action Coordinator for Civic Engagement Beyond Voting. “As I’m sure you understand, we are super excited to see how this project progresses and register new voters!”
Students can run a voter registration drive any time during the spring that works with the schools’ calendar. Trainings begin on Feb. 15.
During the training, The Civics Center will make sure you and your sponsor have all the information you need to be successful. Sign up together with friends, as a club, with one of your classes, or dive in yourself.
You don’t need to be a registered voter to register others to vote in Arizona. You can register to vote if you will be 18 years or older by November 8, 2024.
Students & educators! If you’d like to run a voter registration drive at your Arizona high school, The Civics Center will provide training, materials, support, and Democracy in a Box (stickers, posters customized to your school or mascot, t-shirts, pens, clipboards and more) to get you going!
We help with getting permission from your school administration, ideas for running a successful event, providing a custom voter registration URL for your use, and plenty of support along the way. Events run by peers are the most successful at getting students excited about participating in our democracy!
