Student Voter Act
The Student Voter Act amends the NVRA to designate colleges and universities as “voter registration agencies.” The legislation would require all colleges and universities that receive federal funds to offer voter registration to students during “enrollment for a course of study.”
80 Million Strong (for Young American Jobs)
