All Vote No Play Day 2024 is November 5
All Vote No Play is an annual legislation passed by the NCAA in 2020, where all college athletes have the day off from practice and play on Election Day to vote, celebrate civics, and host events.

HISTORIC 2020 NCAA LEGISLATION
Our movement started as a call to action
In June, 2020, Coach Eric Reveno, then Associate Head Coach for Georgia Tech Men's Basketball, tweeted that Election Day should be a day OFF from playing, and a day ON for voting, #allvotenoplay. The tweet quickly went viral and inspired over 1,100 coaches to sign a pledge to do the same.
We worked with the NCAA and student athlete leaders across the country to unanimously pass a legislation to make Election Day a dedicated day for civic engagement annually, titled All Vote No Play Day.
In that moment, a new civic movement was born.

“Having the All Vote No Play events was really cool because you could see people interacting with one another and talking about their own experiences, which makes it more personal. It also makes people want to go out and vote because they know their friends are doing it too.”
— Anna Economon, Houston Women's Golf
