Voter Registration Initiative

The American Heritage Dictionary defines "voting" as the formal expression of a preference for a candidate for office or for a proposed resolution of an issue. Voting is the foundation upon which our democracy rests. Voting gives us the opportunity to express our concerns and values. Use your voice, and vote regularly!

Voter registration forms are available in 2110 and 2113 Boylan Hall, and most other Offices on campus.

Under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993, the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities is an Agency-Based Registration Site, where students are offered the opportunity to become registered voters. Applications are available in Room 138 Roosevelt Hall. For more information please visit the State Board of Elections home page at www.elections.state.ny.us/voting.html.
