State Laws and Mobilizing College Student Voter Turnout
Hester, Jacob Andrew
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v56 n5 p520-534 2019
With 20 million students across the country, student affairs professionals can affect voting in ways that can have a widespread impact on U.S. politics. Each institution is affected differently by state rules that govern who can vote. This article investigates the effect of state rules on college student voting. Findings suggest that there are several key relationships between state rules and college-student turnout, with implications for practitioners working to increase college student voting.
