Cornell Votes announced its new voter ambassador program recently to increase voter turnout for future elections.
Cornell Votes, a nonpartisan campus organization, hosted its second-annual Civic Celebration to celebrate this year’s historic on-campus voter turnout and Cornell and Ithaca community members’ contributions to democratic participation.
To give Cornellians the day off to vote on Election Day, Cornell Votes is campaigning to make it a University-wide holiday.
Patrick Mehler ’23, president of Cornell Votes and the director of elections for the Student Assembly, hopes to continue civic engagement work as the newly elected alderperson for Ithaca’s Fourth District.
Cornell Votes is organizing to ensure that every Cornellian is registered to vote for the 2020 election.
