TX Votes was originally called UT Votes. It was established in 2004, but became a sponsored student organization, under the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life in 2006.

Approximately 39,770 students have been registered to vote by UT Austin Civic Engagement Alliance organizations since it's creation in 2015.

During the 2019-2020 school year, approximately 8,005 students were registered to vote by TX Votes or at TX Votes' events.

Our goal for UT Austin is 100 percent voter registration and turnout of eligible UT Austin students during all elections.
