APSA’s RAISE the Vote campaign features blog posts focused on some of the Super Tuesday states to help faculty and students understand what’s happening around the country. Some of the posts provide specific information about key issues and processes in each state. Others describe examples of what campuses in Super Tuesday states are doing to prepare for these and future elections. We encourage you to share these resources with your students and colleagues!

APSA introduced the RAISE the Vote campaign, where RAISE stands for “Resources to Amplify and Increase Student Engagement,” in November 2019 with the goal of increasing college student registration, voting, and civic engagement by outlining best practices that faculty can use in the classroom and on-campus to encourage student engagement and by highlighting the research, teaching, and service that political scientists are undertaking as relates to civic engagement and voting.
More information about the campaign, including recent blog posts and articles, and instructions for how to contribute a blog post to the campaign, can be found on the RAISE the Vote website.
