Voter Registration Information

The political decisions made today will affect Gen Z and Millennials more heavily than any other generation eligible to vote in this election - and the demographic strength of voters born between 1980 and 2002 rivals that of the Baby Boom generation. Realizing the potential of this demographic strength requires college students to register and vote!

College students may register to vote based on their school address or their home address.
