On October 14 the voter registration deadline in Minnesota passed. Our students have done a stunning job of registering both their fellow students and community members. Thanks to your amazing efforts on campus we have more than doubled our goal of 4,000 voter contacts.
MSCSA was very excited to have Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie to present the MSCSA Voter Cups to the winning campuses.
- One award was given to the campus with the largest total of voter contacts.
- The other cup was awarded to the campus with the highest percentage of their FYE contacted.
Thanks to your efforts MSCSA registered 4,329 new student voters and 4,006 students who were already registered, pledged to vote. This gave us a total of 8335 student voter contacts.
Here are our winning campuses.
Highest Number or Contacts:
- Inver Hills Community College 1432
- Century College 1225
- Normandale Community College 1188
Highest Percentage of FYE Contacted:
- Anoka Technical College-58.6%
- Ridgewater College-Hutchinson-46.0%
- Inver Hills Community College-44.5%
Beyond these numbers a couple other campuses deserve mention for their engagement efforts.
MSCTC-Detroit Lakes has held 3 candidate forums and has worked with several community organizations to keep the campus child care center open for parents who wished to attend the event.
Vermillion Community College registered 10% of the population of the city of Ely. Campuses have done many great and amazing things that we will work to chronicle as the election approaches. Keep checking the MSCSA Civic Engagement page for updates during the election. Thank you all for you hard work and dedication to this project.
