Want to be heard in the November election? Then vote.
Luckily there are two voting locations right here on campus. Early voting will be available in the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center and Election Day voting will take place in the University Library's Croslin Room.
Voters are encouraged to participate in early voting or arrive early on Election Day to avoid long lines that tend to form later in the day.
A current driver's license or other form of identification is required to vote, and you must be registered to vote. The last day to register is Monday (Oct. 5).
Students who are attending college in a different county than their primary residence can vote early by mail. To request an early voting ballot, fill out an early voting ballot request application (PDF) and address it to the Early Voting Clerk in the primary residence county. Applications to vote by mail must be submitted by mail, email, common or contract carrier, or fax, if a fax machine is available in the office of the early voting clerk. All applications to vote by mail must be received by the early voting clerk by noon Oct. 23. The Early Voting Clerk must receive the marked ballot by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
