Friday, October 13 is the last day to register to vote in the General Election on November 7. Your registration forms must be postmarked by October 13.
In New York State, the following offices, among others, will be decided at the November 7 general election: Governor, US Senator, Attorney General and Comptroller.
Pick up New York State voter registration materials at the Center for Student Leadership and Involvement in 319 Egbert Hall or the Vice President or Student Affairs and Campus Life Office in 390 Egbert Hall. You can also visit the universal voter registration website at: http://www.eac.gov/docs/NVRA%20Update%2009-12-06.pdf
To be eligible to register you must:
• Be a US Citizen
• Be 18 years old by the date of the election in which you want to vote
• Not claim the right to vote elsewhere
• Provide identification when you register. Identification means a verifiable New York State Driver’s license number. ONLY IF you do not have a NYS Driver’s license, then you can provide the last four digits of your social security number, as requested on the registration form. If you register by mail, you must provide a copy of ID; otherwise you will be asked for your ID when you vote.
Don’t be left out!
Register to VOTE!
Make sure your voice is heard. As Mari-Luci Jaramillo, educator and diplomat notes: “Personally, I believe that our American system works as long as you participate in it. You must vote and make your voice heard. Otherwise you will be left out."
