The Elections Are Here!!!

Students have a decision about where to register to vote. You have a right to register to vote at the address you consider the place where you live, whether that is your family’s home or the place where you attend school. You should update your registration anytime this home address changes, including when you move to new on-campus housing or off-campus. You may only be registered and vote in one location.
