Wesleyan College Votes: Go “All In” for Civic Engagement

Thank you to our community partners—the Macon-Bibb Board of Elections, the League of Women Voters of Macon, and the Macon-Bibb NAACP—for supporting voter registration efforts on our campus.

Wesleyan College is committed to encouraging informed civic participation. Our goal is to increase voter engagement by sharing nonpartisan election information, voter registration deadlines, and election updates through campus bulletin boards, WesPortal Events, and Student Affairs.

We encourage all students to:

• Register and verify your voter registration.

• Stay informed about local, state, and national elections.

• Learn about the candidates and issues that matter to you.

• Vote in every election and encourage others to participate.

Resident Students: If you live on campus, you may choose to register to vote using your Wesleyan address while you reside here. You may register and vote in only one location, so carefully consider whether to vote in Macon-Bibb County or your home district. Student Affairs can help answer questions during voter registration events.

 

First, we register, and then we vote!

Make a Plan to Vote

1. Verify your voter registration and polling location.

2. Review election dates and absentee ballot deadlines.

3. Make your voting plan, whether voting early, by absentee ballot, or on Election Day. Encourage five friends to vote, too!
