Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management

Please read this carefully before you decide to participate in the study. The purpose of the study is to see how college students perceived their absentee voting experience based on state of residence and method of registering for an absentee ballot. In this study you will answer 10 questions. You are not required to answer any questions and you may skip questions if you would like. The study will require about 5 minutes of your time. There are no anticipated risks in this study. There are no direct benefits to you for participating in this research study. The study may help me understand students experience with absentee voting. No personal information, besides the information collected, will be used in this study as it is completely anonymous. The survey results will only be viewed by myself. The data will be stored in the Qualtrics Data section and will be deleted at the conclusion of the study. Your participation in the study is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time. However, you cannot withdraw from the study after submitting the survey because the survey will contain no identifying information that it is yours.
