2025 Row The Vote

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 2025 isn’t a federal election year, there are still several important elections in Minneapolis! This year, the Mayor, the entire City Council, and the Parks and Recreation Board will all be on the ballot.

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 defend our title by filling out our 2025 Voter Pledge Form!

If you need to register to vote or want more information about who is on your ballot, you can visit the State Secretary of State’s website to find a comprehensive collection of voting resources.
