 National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement

The National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE) coalition provides colleges and universities information on students voting habits, with the goal of creating a national research database on those habits. This national study is free, confidential and protects student privacy.

Institutions can join by downloading the authorization form, using the online version or by mailing a hard copy to NSLVE. One campus representative is designated as the report recipient, typically a president, vice president, provost, registrar or institutional research director, but varies according to institutional need.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Reports are produced twice a year. To receive a June 2017 report, apply by Mar. 15, 2017.  For more information or to submit an application, click here.
