In Vision 2026, William & Mary is committed to "lead[ing] essential efforts to practice and promote democratic ideals in the pursuit of a more perfect union," through the university's Democracy Initiative. Civic & Community Engagement fosters the development of democratic practices, through programming that supports our civic learning and action goals. We define democratic practices as "sharing power and responsibility equitably with others, recognizing that all people have knowledge and capacities to contribute to processes affecting them and their communities."
Participating in elections is one crucial way we contribute to our national democracy. From registering to vote, knowing what's on your ballot, and voting, to joining the Voter Engagement Committee to support these processes, to caring for yourself and others in the midst of election-related stress, to learning more about our electoral system, your involvement matters.
