The ALL IN NJ Campus Voting Challenge (which is a separate program from the NJ Ballot Bowl) is a nonpartisan competition among higher education institutions in ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ with a commitment to increasing student voter participation and engagement on campuses across the state.
In partnership with the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge (), the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Department of State’s office will announce the 2024 ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Campus Voting Challenge Awards after the anticipated release of the 2024 National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement () from CIRCLE at Tufts University in 2025.
The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Department of State is helping to facilitate this voting challenge in collaboration with the , a national nonpartisan nonprofit that supports more than 930 campuses to institutionalize nonpartisan democratic engagement. Participation in the ALL IN NJ Campus Voting Challenge will automatically include participation in the national ALL IN program and awards competition. The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Ballot Bowl will take place every year and the ALL IN NJ Campus Voting Challenge award ceremony will occur every odd year in conjunction with the Ballot Bowl celebration for that year.
Institutions that opt into the ALL IN NJ Campus Voting Challenge will be provided guidance and tools to create an action plan for increasing student engagement on their campus. There is no sign-up cost to participate.
