National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE)
The National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE) is a study of student political engagement in higher education institutions and a service to over 1,000 U.S. colleges and universities that can use it to understand and improve their student voting rates. Educators, students, and community partners use NSLVE data to improve civic learning in and out of the classroom, to develop or enhance co-curricular programming, to benchmark student voter participation, to inform accreditation reports, and more.
