Voting information for Students

United States citizens who are at least 17 years old, are residents of the county for 30 days before the election and are not serving a sentence of Incarceration as a result of a conviction of an indictable offense can register to vote though may not vote until the age of 18.

If you are in college, you have the option to register from your college address or your parents’ address. There are good reasons for registering and voting at either residence, but keep in mind, the final choice is yours. Pro-tip: Voting by mail is a great option for students, however we recommend submitting a new Vote by Mail Application every time your mailing address changes. Many students don’t stay in the same dorm each year so be mindful if you are checking off the “All Future Elections” option.
