In this collection of resources on the 2024 United States Elections, APSA aims to provide political science faculty with tools and resources that encourage registration, voting, and democratic engagement, provide concrete steps and best practices that faculty can use in the classroom and on-campus to encourage student engagement, and highlight the research, teaching, and service of APSA members related to civic engagement and voting, and encourage faculty to use these resources in their classrooms.

The resources highlighted are featured on APSA platforms, in APSA member newsletters, on PoliticalScienceNow.com, APSA’s social media channels, and throughout other APSA programming. In addition, the RAISE the Vote campaign includes special events and grants focused on student voting and civic engagement. Interested parties are advised to check back often for updates.

National campaigns and elections allow citizens to reflect and participate in their democracy. APSA’s Engaging the 2024 U.S. Election Webinar Series showcases how political scientists understand and teach the U.S. election from a variety of perspectives.

APSA’s 2019-2021 Raise the Vote Campaign from a fresh perspective, highlighting timeless resources in thematic collections.

• Navigating Classroom Political Discussion: Classroom discussion allows students to share and hear from each other while actively wrestling with ideas. However, discussing contentious, controversial, or divisive topics has become more challenging given the increased polarization and assaults on classroom free speech.
• Civic Games and Active Learning Strategies: Civic games and activities are a great way to help students apply the knowledge that they’ve learned or make connections between the abstract concepts and ideas emphasized in coursework with concrete experiences. Below are simulations that ask your students to actively engage with the processes of the American governing and electoral systems.
• Experiential Learning in Political Science: Teaching is not only more impactful but more fun (for instructors and students) when we can find ways to connect learning to experiences outside the classroom. The articles spotlighted here will give you plenty of ideas about how to get your students active and involved, applying and reflecting on what they’ve learned in their coursework while engaging their local communities.
