Got questions about voting? 

You won’t after you attend Zoom the Vote! Led by the BadgersVote Student Coalition, Zoom the Vote is a four-week series of one-hour long Zoom presentations and discussions about all things voting.

The series is designed to help familiarize students with the voting process and civic engagement, assist students in the process of registering or requesting an absentee ballot and educate students about poll working. 

Zoom the Vote will be hosted by the BadgersVote Student Coalition in collaboration with the League of Women Voters of Dane County, Start Up and the Bradley Learning Community.

Below is a preview of the Zoom the Vote topics and presentations that will equip students to take on the November election.

  • “The least commendable purpose of acquiring knowledge…is to apply it to one’s own advancement – to achieve worldly success. A higher purpose is to fit one to live the intellectual life…A third and the highest purpose of acquiring knowledge is to use it for the benefit of mankind.” — Former UW President Charles Van Hise
