Engage the Vote Championship Overview

The California University and College Engage the Vote Championship is a 10-week tournament where California higher education campuses compete to achieve the highest combined percentage of students who register to vote and submit a plan to vote. The California Secretary of State (SOS) Students Vote Project (SVP) hosts the tournament during even numbered years leading up to the statewide primary election.
