It is essential that students exercise their right to vote and cast a ballot in the federal, state and local elections.

Students who are already registered to vote, or would like to check if they are registered, they can check voting locations below.

Students who are not registered to vote can register and vote at the same time at an Early Voting Site in the county where their ballot is being cast. Registering to vote requires two forms of ID, one of which needs to have a current address. Students also can utilize early voting if they are going away for spring break, or simply find it more convenient to vote prior to Election Day.
