All currently enrolled full time students are permitted by law to opt to register to vote either using their college address or their home address.  Students who register to vote using their college address will vote at our local polling place--Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church.  Students who register to vote using their home address will vote via absentee ballot.

However, like other citizens, students ARE NOT PERMITTED to register to vote in more than one location.  Students may not register to vote in two different states in or two different election districts or precincts within any state.

If students register in the locality of their college or university, they need to include their prior voter registration address (if they were previously registered in another location) in the space provided on the voter registration application so that their previous registration may be voided.

Qualifications to Register & Vote

You are eligible to register and vote if you:

* are or will be 18 years old at the time of the election and

* are a citizen of the United States.
