uvote logoWelcome to Uvote

Uvote2008 is a non-partisan group of students and professors from more than 28 college and university campuses working to engage young citizens in political and civic life. We are a nonprofit organization and do not support or endorse any political party or candidate.

 

Our main focus is to make young voters aware of how important it is to exercise their rights. We study political communication patterns of university-age voters in order to develop programs and messages that enhance the interest and participation of this group.

Uvote2008 has more than 50 members working together to:


  • gather and analyze data on campaign messages (television spots, debates, Web sites, newscasts, newspapers, talk shows and alternative media formats);
  • measure responses to these messages through experiments, surveys, and focus groups;
  • organize and sponsor activities on our own campuses to encourage greater participation among young voters, and
  • publicize the outcomes of our project through conventional scholarly outlets (conference programs, journal articles, books) and through promotion of our work on the Internet and through media outlets.
