Voter Registration and Advocacy

Register to Vote

The Office of Student Activities is your resource for student voter registration and election information on campus.

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.

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
