Hokies Vote Caucus
The Hokies Vote Caucus (HVC) is a non-partisan student-led program that creates year-round voter education and engagement initiatives on campus and in the community.
The HVC is the place for undergraduate students to make a difference by organizing in a non-partisan way to encourage a culture of active civic and voter participation on campus. The HVC is a great avenue for students who are interested in contributing to the democratic process but don’t know where to start.
Students who begin voting while they are in college are more likely to continue the lifelong pattern of voting after they graduate. Voting is just one way to be civically engaged, and many students will cast their first ballot while attending college. College students face a unique set of barriers to voting (CVP). At VT Engage, we work to equip students to navigate these new opportunities, and to seek out information on sociopolitical issues.
