Tianna Allen named one of 232 college students nationwide for nonpartisan voter registration and turnout successes

Austin Community College District (ACC)  and the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge (ALL IN) honor Tianna Allen 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 institutions who have gone above and beyond to advance nonpartisan student voter registration, education, and turnout efforts in their communities. Tianna is one of 232 students who mobilized their fellow students to make their voices heard in a historic election cycle.

“Whether they hosted nonpartisan voter registration drives or early voting celebrations, the students honored today made sure their peers did not sleep in on Election Day,” says Jen Domagal-Goldman, Executive Director of the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge. “With 100,000 local elections happening across the country in 2025, ALL IN students continue to ensure that everyone on their campuses has the information they need to cast their ballot. The 232 Student Voting Honor Roll honorees lead by example, making nonpartisan voter participation a lifelong habit for themselves and their peers.” 

A recent survey from CIRCLE found that 48% of under-35 youth who did not vote in 2024 heard little or nothing at all about how to vote, compared to the 15% of under-35 youth who cast their ballots. 

“My goals has been to strengthen democracy through education; what this means for me is to provide those in underserved communities with the necessary resources to advocate for themselves. Whether it be voter education or just civic engagement, I will continue to strive to strengthen democracy through educational freedom,” says Tianna. 

The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge empowers colleges and universities to achieve excellence in nonpartisan student civic engagement. The challenge engages more than 1,000 institutions enrolling over 10 million students in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In 2024, ACC was recognized as a 2024 ALL IN Most Engaged Campus for College Student Voting for outstanding efforts to increase nonpartisan student voter participation.
