About Creative Campus Voting Project
CCVP is a non-partisan research initiative that uses art and design to expand access to voting. Founded in 2018 by Stephanie Rowden and Hannah Smotrich, CCVP began with the idea that, as art and design faculty, their creative toolbox could help address the challenges faced by student voters. They use their skills in narrative and visual design to develop inviting spaces, experiences, and materials that empower peer-to-peer learning, and prompt action.
Information overload and confusion are real barriers for new voters. Everything we do is aimed at fostering a clear, welcoming, and delightful voting experience, particularly for first-time and student voters.
About UMICH Votes Coalition
