Students registering to vote in the residence halls need to ensure they use two critical pieces of information while registering to vote:

1. Valid mailing address. Use the Center for Student Engagement voter registration address, listed below.

Residential hall students, as well as any student who is unable to receive mail where they live, can use the Center for Student Engagement mail address to register to vote and receive their mail-in ballots.

Frequently asked questions about voting

Why student votes matter

According to the Census Bureau's statistics, in the 2020 general election, 51.4% of voters between the ages of 18-24 voted. There was a huge increase in voter turnout for that age group, but still the lowest turnout rate of any age group, compared to 76.4% voting turnout of 65-74 age group.

In other words, young people's perspectives and voices (your perspectives and voices) are disproportionately missing from important conversations and policy-making decisions.

The Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ participates in the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE) study by Tufts University. This study is used to inform our institution on the level of voter engagement on our camps. We are proud to say that students at Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ turn out to vote at a rate 6% higher than the national average3.
