About Us
MITvote2018 is a nonpartisan group of graduates and undergraduates with the goal of engaging an active voter community on campus.
We organize voting events, register students to vote, and are a source of civic engagement for the MIT community. We initially formed in 2017 to raise awareness of the municipal elections in Cambridge, and some of our members were involved in separately organized voter registration efforts before that. We are grateful to the MIT Libraries, the MIT Division of Student Life (especially the Priscilla King Gray Public Service Center), the Institute Community and Equity Office, and many others for their support.
We are led by our co-chairs, Davi da Silva and Sarah Powazek. Please email vote2018@mit.edu with any questions.
