Who We Are
TX Votes is a student organization, sponsored by the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life, that invites students campus wide to increase electoral participation and create more voters. Each election cycle, we organize and coordinate Get Out the Vote activities including registration booths, deputization sessions, and campus competitions.
For the Fall 2022 election, we registered 2,000+ students to vote at UT! We also presented in 100+ classrooms and partnered with 50+ organizations to make sure UT students are informed, registered, and turning out to vote.
We partnered with Pizza to the Polls and other UT voting organizations on National Voter Registration Day for an event that included registering to vote, pledging to vote, election-related trivia, and learning about local elections. On the Last Day to Register to Vote, we personally registered 356 students but university-wide, 1539 students got registered to vote! Here's a photo of us with Travis County's Tax Assessor-Collector, Bruce Elfant!
What We’re Fundraising For
The money we raise allows us to build on the amazing work we achieved in 2020 and 2022. In 2020, 90% of UT students were registered to vote and 75% voted. In order to sustain our work across such a large campus like UT, we rely on gifts from supporters like you.
Your Impact
This year, our fundraising goal is $5,000. We need funds to be able to continue to pay for food and materials for our meetings, and events. We spend roughly $3,000 a semester on pizza for our meetings, event programming, and voter registration materials. On Election Day, we give out 100 roses to Longhorns in celebration of voting.
Thank you for your consideration, we dream of a future where every Longhorn is registered and votes! With your donation, we can make it happen.
