Row the Vote (RTV) is a nonpartisan campaign led by the Undergraduate Student Government aimed at increasing voter registration and turnout among students. It focuses on educating students about the importance of voting and providing resources to assist students with registering to vote as well as voting early, by mail, or on election day.

Even though 2026 isn't a Minneapolis municipal election year, there are still important elections taking place. This year, Minnesotans will vote for statewide offices, including Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, State Auditor, and one U.S. Senate seat, as well as members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Minnesota Legislature. The primary election is August 11, 2026, and the general election is November 3, 2026.
Last year, we had 11,311 students pledge to vote and 1,938 students complete voter registrations, which helped Minnesota lead the country in youth voter turnout. You can help us keep that momentum going by filling out our 2026 Voter Pledge Form!
If you need to register to vote, check your registration status, or find out what's on your ballot, visit the Minnesota Secretary of State's website for voting resources and election information.
