About the Collegiate Student Advisory Task Force (CSATF)

Founded by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson in September 2019, the Collegiate Student Advisory Task Force aims to improve youth voter engagement and civic participation. Task force members will serve as student liaisons between the Michigan Department of State and their campus populations. This nonpartisan group will advise on the unique experiences and barriers of student voters, helping to ensure the voice of young people are heard in Michigan’s elections.

The 2023 – 2024 Collegiate Student Advisory Task Force is run by the Michigan Department of State in partnership with Campus Vote Project and Fair Elections Center, a national, nonpartisan voting rights organization that works to eliminate barriers to student voting. Students appointed to the 2023 - 2024 Task Force have the option to also enroll in a paid Campus Vote Project (CVP) Democracy Fellowship.
