Student Involvement
Knights Vote Committee
The Knights Vote committee is a collaborative, nonpartisan team across the university that will create campus voting goals, provide valuable perspectives, and champion democratic engagement for the university. Knights Vote will be comprised of key stakeholders across the university and Orlando community.
Our Goals for 2024
- Increase voter participation rate to 80% or higher for the 2024 election
- 500 Knights will sign the Knights Vote pledge to vote
- 10 Registered Student Organizations or student leadership groups on campus will host voter-education and voter-engagement programs prior to the 2024 Presidential elections
Why YOU should get involved
According to the National Voter Engagement Week group, “studies show you are more likely to vote if you make a plan to do it. Think through how you’re going to vote, when you will go, how you will get there, and who will join you.
Below are our awards, seals, and honors for voter engagement!
ALL IN provides national seals and awards to recognize campuses for improvement and success in increasing college student democratic engagement. Awards are presented biannual during odd-years at an ALL IN Awards Ceremony.

What to Bring
You will need to bring a current and valid photo identification with a signature.
Some approved forms of photo identification are:
- Florida driver’s license
- Florida identification card issues by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
- United States passport
- Debit or credit card
View the full list of approved identification at Florida Division of Elections Voting FAQs.
If the photo identification card does not have a signature, you must provide additional identification with your signature.
A voter information card is not an acceptable form of ID. Your card is a good source of information about your voter registration including your assigned precinct and polling location for Election Day.
