Announcing the "Make It Count" Campaign

Our future cannot depend on the government alone. The ultimate solutions lie in the attitudes and the actions of the American people.

- President Joe Biden

Since its inception, the Biden Institute has been committed to promoting civic engagement among the University of Delaware student body. The "Make It Count" campaign, led by a passionate group of both graduate and undergraduate students, is a civic engagement initiative which strives to make every students voice count. Through education surrounding voter registration and elections, living room style conversations on the issues of the day, and on-campus events,  the Make It Count campaign's goal is to keep students informed and involved on relevant policy topics and ways to make each individuals voice count.

Make It Count Mission Statement

To increase voter registration and non-partisan civic engagement across the University of Delaware campus and the state of Delaware. We will attack apathy and inspire a culture of civic engagement through voter registration drives, facilitated discourse, and educational programming to create life-long ambassadors to democratic involvement.

Turbovote 

The Biden Institute and the Make It Count campaign are excited to partner with Democracy Works to bring TurboVote to the University of Delawarebecause voting should be made easy. TurboVote is an online service developed to fulfill this simple proposition by allowing students to register to vote, change their registration address, request an absentee ballot, or simply receive reminders about upcoming elections. 

University of Delaware students can click here to register with TurboVote and wait to receive a completed voter registration form in the mail to be signed and returned. All forms are sent with pre-addressed and pre-stamped envelopes. 

Even if you're already registered to vote, the Make It Count campaign urges you to register with TurboVote in order to receive timely election reminders! 

As President​ Biden often reminds us, elections are about who we are as a people. As students and future leaders, your participation, your ideas and your voices will continue to push this country forward.
