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
- You can register to vote, or update your registration, online, in person, or by mail.
- 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.
