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.

We partnered with 33 individuals and organizations at UT and in the community to get out the vote in fall 2020!

7,726 students were enrolled in the classes that TX Votes presented and gave voter registration help to in Fall 2020.

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

1243 students requested registration assistance through Turbovote, purchased by TX Votes.

TX Votes presented to 189 classrooms during the Fall 2020 semester. These classes had a combined registration of 7,726 students!

In 2018, 54.8 percent of UT Austin students turned out to vote. Remarkably, this was a 37.3 percent increase from 2014.

In 2014, only 17.6 percent of UT Austin students turned out to vote. In 2018, that turnout rate improved to 54.8 percent.

In 2016, approximately 4,056 UT Austin freshmen (or first year students) voted.

In 2016, 84 percent of UT Austin's eligible students were registered to vote. This donation would fully fund TX Votes for the 2020-21 school year.
