Political participation is an important piece of civic engagement. We encourage the Drexel community to take advantage of voter resources and education offered through our office and other offices; some specific resources are listed below. 

Drexel Votes is a fantastic page put together by a broad coalition of campus stakeholders, including the Lindy Center for Civic Engagement. It includes resources and a listing of voting-related events. 

The Lindy Center also works closely with the Campus Election Engagement Project (CEEP), which coordinates student Fellows to provide resources and education on campuses throughout the country. The 2020 CEEP fellows, Sarah Resanovich and Carlie McWilliams, have shared the following voter guides explaining each Presidental candidate's stances on major issues:

• 2020 Presidential Candidate Guide - English
• 2020 Guía de Candidatos Presidenciales - Español
• 2020 Presidential Candidate Guide Including Third Party (Green and Libertarian) Candidates - English
