Dickinson Votes!



Dr. Benjamin Rush founded Dickinson College with a grand, yet pragmatic goal: He hoped to prepare promising students to become leaders in the newly chartered United States. This was a tall order in 1783 America, a fledgling nation in the wake of the Revolutionary War. Bold revolutionaries such as Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and John Dickinson, a signer of the United States Constitution, laid the foundation for the new democracy; the next generation of Americans would need to further these democratic ideals in the New World. Dickinson College was founded to meet this noble goal.

Over 200 years later, you have the opportunity to show your revolutionary spirit and demonstrate your commitment to democratic ideals through one very simple but important task: VOTING. Below are resources to assist you in registering to vote in your home state or in Pennsylvania.
