The National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE)
The National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE) offers colleges and universities an opportunity to learn their student registration and voting rates and, for interested campuses, a closer examination of their campus climate for political learning and engagement and correlations between specific student learning experiences and voting.
According to the 2021 NSLVE report for SUNY Geneseo, the student voting rate is 68.2% compared to a national average of 66% for all institutions. In 2021, the voter registration and voter education efforts resulted in increased numbers and percentages across all three sets of data (registration rates, voting rates of registered students, and voting rates for all enrolled students). Despite a dip in enrollment numbers in 2020, SUNY Geneseo increased its registration rate from 80% to 88% with 4,185 registered voters (4817 total students) as compared to 4263 (5,452 total students) in 2016. By field of study, the three highest voting rates were 80.0% in Foreign Languages, Literatures and Linguistics; 74% in education; and 84% in Visual and Performing Arts. By field of study, the three lowest voting rates were 57% for Business, Management and Marketing; 60% in Mathematics and Statistics and 65% for Biological and Biomedical.
