Building on the momentum and insights from our 2024 Summit—where more than 300 nonpartisan student vote leaders took on challenges like local election turnout, combating misinformation, and reducing post-election disengagement — this milestone gathering aims to amplify our collective power and chart a course for an even more impactful 2026. We’ll kick off the Summit with the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge Awards Ceremony, celebrating college student voting achievements nationwide and setting the stage for a memorable experience. Awards will be presented to college and university campuses, student leaders and individual champions for their nonpartisan contributions to increasing student voter engagement in the 2024 Election. Thanks to our incredible host partners at the University of Maryland, College Park, we’ll gather once again at UMD’s Stamp Student Union. There, in collaboration with TerpsVote, we’ll create an inspiring space for learning, connection, and celebration. Every participant will leave equipped with the tools, relationships, and momentum to make 2026 a historic year for nonpartisan student voter engagement.

Extra, extra, read (and listen) all about it
A list of sources for go-to information on democracy and election administration

By M. Mindy Moretti
electionline.org

With another summer of reading now behind us, it’s time to put down the beach reads and get back to the business at hand. 

And with that in mind, we reached out to a number of state and local elections officials, researchers and stakeholders in the elections administration realm to find out, other than electionline.org (OF COURSE), what newsletters, blogs, Substacks, etc. they are reading and podcasts they are listening to. 

This list is by no means exhaustive and we’ve kept it to mostly a national focus although we did get some good state-specific recommendations from folks as well. If you’re reading or listening to something that’s not listed, let us know and we’ll update the list in a future edition of electionlineWeekly.

Thank you to everyone who responded to our inquiry!
