Voter Education & Registration

Make Your Voice Heard on November 5!  

Under New York State law, college students who meet all other eligibility requirements can vote at their college address or at their home address. That does not mean you can just show up and vote on election day. You need to register in the place you intend to vote. 

In order to vote in New York in the November 5, 2024 election, you must be registered to vote by October 26, 2024, and you must be 18 years old by November 5, 2024.  

If you are not able to vote in person at the location where you choose to vote, you must request an absentee ballot in advance of the election to cast your vote.   

Make a plan:  

I want to vote at my home address (in New York):  

  1. Check your current voter registration. 
  2. Make sure you are registered to vote at your home address by October 26, 2024. You can register or change your registration by using the New York State Register to Vote webpage.
  3. Make a travel plan to vote in person on election day November 5, 2024.  

OR  

Request an absentee ballot so that your request will arrive 10 days before the election. 

I want to vote at my college address:   

  1. Check your current voter registration.
  2. Make sure you are registered to vote at your college address by October 26, 2024. You can register or change your registration by using the New York State Register to Vote webpage.
  3. Make a plan to vote in person on election day November 5, 2024 at a nearby polling place. 
  4. For students who are registered to vote in Morrisville, the Morrisville Auxiliary Corporation (MAC) will be providing van rides to the polling location at the nearby Madison County Cornell Cooperative Extension (100 Eaton Street) at various times throughout the day. The polling location will be open from 6 a.m.-9 p.m.

If your home address is outside of New York State and you plan to vote in your home community, please check your local voting requirements for in-person and/or absentee voting.
