Undergraduate classes were randomly assigned to receive a short peer‐led voting presentation, emails with voting information, or no contact.\n\n\nResults\nWe verified voting using the state voter file and found that students who received an in‐person presentation were 11 percentage points more likely to vote than those who received no voting encouragement from the study. We did not observe a statistically significant effect from email encouragement.\n\n\nConclusion\nOur findings are consistent with prior literature on voter mobilization and suggest that low cost GOTV efforts, such as email campaigns, are not likely to be effective at driving student turnout.\n\n"]
