VoteAmerica offers a free plugin to embed a voter registration form in Learning Management Systems (LMSes). You will need an administrator of your LMS (likely in your IT department) to enable this — please send them this page.
The VoteAmerica LMS plugin is made available through as an LTI 1.3 tool, and thus should be compatible with all certified platforms. In other words, the plugin should work with most LMS platforms.
If your students are below the age of 18, please direct them to Future Voter!
If you run into any issues or are looking to integrate with an LMS that isn't listed below, get in touch.
