Welcome to Kent State Votes!
We are a USG-affiliated, university-wide coalition with the goal of trying to get Kent State students more involved and informed when it comes to voting in local, state-wide and federal elections. We table regularly to help get students registered to vote and we hold events to spread the word about voting for upcoming elections. For more information about us, click on our "About Us" page!
