Hamline Votes--Plan Ahead for Nov. 3rd
Hamline has historically had great success motivating students to vote. In the past this
engagement was on campus and in person. In light of the COVID-19 epidemic, Hamline Votes will
be focusing our efforts online, while remaining nimble and open to opportunities that allow for
engagement in person. The primary in person opportunities that we foresee will involve
orientation of new students. At Hamline, our leadership, including the university president,
participate in orientation activities, and in doing so will stress the Hamline value of civic
engagement. Simultaneously, our online efforts will be directed toward collaborating with
student organizations to leverage their social media accounts in ways that engage and activate
students to vote. In addition, we will shift our “call to action” to include absentee or mail-in
ballots for all students, even those who plan to vote in the state of Minnesota.
