How Can I Get Involved?

Learn about the different ways to participate in elections, on campus or at home, and how to stay civically engaged all year long.

St. Olaf takes part in the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE), an initiative that looks at aggregate election turnout data from more than 1,100 colleges and universities and 10 million student records from all 50 states to better understand college student political learning and engagement in democracy.
You can read more about how the NSLVE results informed our election engagement activities for 2022 in our 2022-23 democratic engagement plan.
