TrinVotes! Student Organization Civic Engagement Pledge

The TrinVotes! Student Organization Civic Engagement Pledge encourages student organizations to promote voter participation, civic learning, and democratic engagement across the Trinity College community.

The Pledge

Developed for the Spring 2026 midterm election cycle, the TrinVotes! Student Organization Civic Engagement Pledge was adapted from the Democracy All-In Challenge Coaches Pledge to encourage student organizations to promote voter participation, civic learning, and democratic engagement.

The initiative brought together leaders from civic engagement, multicultural affairs, and Greek life organizations, securing commitments from 14 student organizations across campus. Through collaboration, informed voting, and community engagement, the pledge advances TrinVotes!’ mission to strengthen civic responsibility and democratic participation within the Trinity College community in the coming fall.

  • Register together: We will encourage our peers to register to vote.
  • Prepare to Vote: We commit to taking the steps needed to ensure we are ready to vote, including confirming our members registration, knowing where our ballots will be cast, and deciding how we will vote.
  • Act on National Voter Registration Day: We will join students and student athletes across the country in supporting others to get registered and ready to vote on National Voter Registration Day.

These commitment help reach our 4 main goals.
