What is the 90% Challenge?
The 90% Challenge is a campus-wide campaign to encourage student organizations, groups, and chapters to become more civically engaged in local, state, and federal elections. Groups who successfully register 90% of their affiliated students and participate in a civic engagement workshop with Hawk the Vote will receive a civic engagement seal from the Leadership, Service, and Civic Engagement.
B1G Votes
B1G Votes is a flagship program organized by the Big Ten Conference. Official teams in the conference are eligible to compete. The universities with the highest voter turnout will receive B1G Votes' “Greatest Overall Turnout” and “Greatest Increase in Voting Rates.” In previous years, Hawk the Vote has carried out workshops for athletic teams across campus. We are proud to facilitate increased voter turnout through our work with B1G Votes alongside the 90% Challenge.
