Voter Registration and Advocacy

Important Dates

General Election: November 5, 2024

Voter registration deadline (new registrants): October 26, 2024

Change of Address Deadline: October 21, 2024

Absentee Ballot Application Deadline: October 26, 2024

Early Voting: October 26, 2024 - November 3, 2024.

Register to Vote

The Office of Student Activities is your resource for student voter registration and election information on campus. You can view all of CUNY's resources for voting here.

Who Can Register to Vote
You must meet all of the following criteria:

  • U.S. Citizen
  • New York City resident for at least 30 days
  • 18 years of age before the next election
  • Not imprisoned for a felony conviction
  • Not claiming the right to vote elsewhere

How to Register

  1. You can register to vote, or update your registration, online, in person, or by mail.
  2. The New York City Board of Elections must receive your new or updated registration at least 25 days before the next election for it to be effective for that election.
  3. If you registered to vote in the past, and you have changed your political party, your name, or your home address, you will need to submit an updated registration form. You will also need to re-register if you have been in prison for a felony.

Registering to vote is easier than you think, especially using CUNY’s special registration form accessible directly on CUNYfirst. Take a look at CUNY's guide or PDF version to figure out your best option.

Forms and Information

  • NYS Voter Registration Form
  • NYS Absentee Ballot Information
  • CUNY Voter Registration Information
  • New York State Online Voter Registration Application
  • Voter registration forms are available in our office (Room 202, Thomas Hunter), when campus is open.
  • Accessible Voter Registration Forms

Become an Advocate

NYPIRG supports their mission of student advocacy by conducting voter registration drives and tabling events.

  • Visit NYPIRG of Hunter College

Vote Better NY is a coalition of community and advocacy organizations and good governance groups from across New York that advocate for increased voter participation and improvements in the voting process.

  • Vote Better NY

New York has been experiencing a shortage of poll workers for upcoming elections. You are eligible to become a poll worker if you are a New York State registered voter. Poll workers get paid for training and each day they work.

NY State Elections: Become a Poll Worker

This national holiday celebrates our democracy, and seeks to reach tens of thousands of voters who may not register otherwise.

Hunter staff and volunteers will be on hand to provide information and assist students with voter registration. We'll have snacks and giveaways too!

When: On the Fourth Tuesday in September every year
