Wittenberg University has been named a Voter Friendly Campus, one of 272 campuses in 39 states and the District of Columbia, by Fair Elections Center’s Campus Vote Project and NASPA – Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. The initiative recognizes institutions that have planned and implemented practices that encourage their students to register and vote.
The mission of the 2025 Voter Friendly Campus designation is to bolster colleges and universities’ efforts to help students overcome barriers to participating in the political process – every year, not just during years featuring federal elections. Wittenberg was evaluated based on a written plan for how it sought to register, educate, and turnout student voters in 2024, and for how it facilitated voter engagement across the campus. A final analysis of those efforts was also taken into consideration.
