Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The University of Pittsburgh is also a member of the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE), from whom we receive annual voting reports. The University has not yet received the NSLVE report from the 2022 midterm elections.
Additionally, Pitt submits Voter Engagement plans every 2 years, which is why we only have designations and awards from even-numbered years. We are currently working on our 2024 Voter Engagement Plan.
