UTSA was recently awarded a gold seal from the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge for reaching a campus voting rate between 40 and 49 percent during the 2018 midterm election. The Center for Civic Engagement reports that the student voting rate on campus increased to 46.1 percent in 2018 from a rate of 15.3 percent in 2014. The data was based on a report from the National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement. The full UTSA campus report can be viewed here.
