Dear [first],

Happy National Voter Registration Day! Register to vote now to have your voice heard in the November election.

What You Need to Know

  • In-state students: All active, registered ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ voters automatically receive a ballot in the mail a few weeks before Election Day. If you plan to vote in Boulder or in your home county,  and that your ballot mailing address is up to date. ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ voters may update their  at anytime.
  • Out-of-state students: You may choose to either from your home state or . You cannot register and/or vote in both locations. Many states have a registration and/or absentee ballot request deadline, so act now to receive your ballot.

    Note: If you register to vote in ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥, you'll be considered a ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ resident for motor vehicle registration, income tax, and jury duty purposes. Registering to vote does not automatically make you a resident for tuition purposes. Your ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder tuition classification won't change unless you take all of the necessary actions to establish residency and successfully petition for a change in residency.
  • Students living on campus: Whether voting in ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ or in your home state via absentee ballot, you must use your mailbox number, not your dorm room number for your ballot to find you. Visit Boulder County's  page for instructions.
