UF makes it easy for students to register to vote

September 23, 2010

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Students who have not yet registered to vote are in luck.

The University of Florida is providing voter registration applications at locations across campus to encourage student involvement in the upcoming midterm election.

Florida residents can find registration forms at the Office of the University Registrar, 222 Criser Hall; Dean of Students Office, 202 Peabody Hall; Disability Resources Program, 001 Reid Hall; Housing and Residence Education, Residence Hall Offices and Village Offices; Smathers Libraries; Student Government Office, 305 Reitz Student Union; and at the front desk of the University Police Department.

Both Florida and non-Florida residents can also access the online voter registration application through the “My Resources” section of the ISIS home page. Students should click “Personal Info” then “Voter Registration” to link to the Florida Division of Elections website.

Once at the site, non-Florida residents should go to “Government Links,” where they will then click “U. S. Elections Assistance Commission” and “Register to Vote.”

Students must register by Oct. 4 to vote in the general election on Nov. 2.
