While civic learning and democratic engagement take many forms, informed citizen participation in the electoral process is one of the most vital components of successful self-government.\u00a0 Low voter registration and voter turnout rates are a threat to democracy and must be addressed from multiple angles; higher education has a vital role to play in inculcating habits of responsible citizenship.\u00a0 The institution\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/mission\/\">Mission, Vision, and Creed statements<\/a>, the basic building blocks of its Core Curriculum, its programming priorities, its civic cultural orientation, its leadership and formal structures of democratic engagement all collectively prepare Marshall to undertake new efforts to advance student electoral participation.

Students who registered in another West Virginia county can cast a provisional ballot, which is counted during the canvassing period of the election, once it has been verified that the student did not cast a ballot in any additional county other than Cabell (West Virginia Secretary of State\u2019s office, 2018).<\/li>\n<li>Since opening in 2018, voter turnout among voters ages 18-24 has more than doubled (Cabell County Clerk\u2019s office, 2018).<\/li>\n<li>Approximately 1,500 voters utilized the facility in 2018 (Cabell County Clerk\u2019s office, 2018).<\/li>\n<li>Marshall University\u2019s early voting precinct employees five full-time staff members for four weeks, each election year (Cabell County Clerk\u2019s office, 2019).<\/li>\n<li>Marshall University\u2019s early voting precinct is the most ADA compliant early voting precinct in Cabell County (Cabell County Clerk\u2019s office, 2019).<\/li>\n<li>Following the success of Marshall University\u2019s early precinct, West Virginia University will open its on-campus early voting precinct in the fall of 2020 (West Virginia Secretary of State\u2019s office, 2020).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Questions about Getting Involved?
