Bowdoin’s “Get Out the Vote”

Bowdoin had its own program led by Marie (Mary) Nzeyimana ’22 and Wilder Short ’22 who managed twenty paid student workers.  Bowdoin received a $15,000 grant from the organization Ask Every Student. Ask Every Student is a “national joint initiative that facilitates collaboration between campus leaders and nonprofit partners to help campuses ask every student to participate in the democratic process and achieve full student voter registration.”

“Get Out the Vote” Definition

“Get out the vote is a broadly inclusive term campaigns, candidates, political parties, civic-minded institutions, and individuals use to describe a concerted effort to register voters and increase voter turnout. These efforts can be done with the intent of increasing general voter turnout without regard to political leaning or can be organized by political groups aiming to increase turnout among voters who support a particular candidate or cause.”
