Voter registration drive draws hundreds of students ahead of Election Day

For National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday, Sept. 17, Vote100, the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students (ODUS), and the American Whig-Cliosophic Society held a one-stop voter registration drive at Frist Campus Center.

From 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., Vote100 student fellows and ODUS staff helped over 100 students register through TurboVote and assisted those who needed to mail paper registrations. Students were also able to check their registration status and request an absentee ballot for Election Day.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5, when students are on campus. Most eligible students are far from their home state or designated N.J. polling place. Classes are held as normally scheduled on Election Day.

“A lot of people seem to really care about voting, but they just don’t know how to do it logistically,” Vote100 Head Fellow Anjali Brunnermeier ’25 told The Daily Princetonian. “They might not know whether they should register in Princeton, or in their home state, or if they can do it online or what the timeline is — those are all concerns that we hoped to help address today.”
