“Space” to Vote!

It was a “Once In A Blue Moon” Homecoming and American Democracy Project’s parade float was titled “Space to Vote!”  MTSU students want to be able to vote on the MTSU campus, to cast their ballots as citizens at a polling place at the university. Students to Rutherford County Election Commission: Do you copy? We have the place. Authorize us a legal Space to Vote on Campus!


MTSU Wins!

In a “three-peat” MTSU is named #1 in Tennessee for Public University Voter Registration


At MTSU, the American Democracy Project is a program of the University Honors College.
