Make your Plans to Vote and Be Civically engaged

DU Votes is a Fraternity initiative designed to encourage civic engagement among members. Regardless of political affiliation, DU encourages brothers to take an active role in their communities, and one of the easiest ways to do this is to vote.

Looking to the U.S. elections on Nov. 3, 2020, DU is encouraging each of our U.S. members to make a plan to vote. And while it might not be a major election year in Canada, our Canadian brothers are encouraged to find other ways to be civically engaged this year.

Create Your Voting Plan

Before you vote, it's important to have a voting plan, especially if you are a student who will be away from home on election day.

DU recommends sites like TurboVote to help you create your plan. TurboVote is a free online service designed to help students vote in every election—local, state, and national—and is developed by Democracy Works, a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that works to simplify the voting process.

  • Decide if you will mail in, drop off or vote in person
  • Find out your polling/voting or drop off location
