This spring, the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge (ALL IN) honored Elisabeth Cobb Hughes as part of the fourth annual ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll. The 2025 ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll recognizes college students at participating campuses who have gone above and beyond to advance nonpartisan student voter registration, education and turnout efforts in their communities. Elisabeth is one of 232 students who mobilized their fellow students to make their voices heard in a historic election cycle.

CCA's Voter Friendly Campus Action Plan
At CCA, we’re committed to working with students, faculty, staff, and election officials to reduce barriers to student voting.
CCA’s President, David Howse, has personally signed the Higher Education Presidents’ Commitment to Full Student Voter Participation for the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, and champions the work of Creative Citizens in Action (CCA@CCA). Our goal is to increase student voting rates, help students form the habits of active and informed citizenship, and make democratic participation a core value on our campus.
CCA is one of over 231 campuses designated as a “Voter Friendly Campus.” The initiative, led by national nonpartisan organizations Fair Elections Center’s Campus Vote Project (CVP) and NASPA – Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, holds participating institutions accountable for planning and implementing practices that encourage their students to register and vote.

In addition to working with the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge and Voter Friendly Campus to increase civic engagement on campus, CCA participates in the California Secretary of State Students Vote Project's annual California University and College Ballot Bowl competition. The Ballot Bowl is a friendly competition where higher education campuses compete to register the most students to vote and showcase civic engagement efforts. The California Secretary of State Students Vote Project hosts the Ballot Bowl only during an even numbered year ahead of the general election.
CCA won the "Best Civic and Voter Empowerment Action Plan" award in the AICCU category of the California Secretary of State Students Vote Project's 2024 California University and College Ballot Bowl competition. Our Civic and Voter Empowerment Action Plan (CVEAP) earned a perfect score of 234 out of 234 points—a testament to CCA's commitment to civic engagement and voter empowerment.
