OUT OF STATE: If you are not voting in Florida, check the deadlines and dates at Rules in Your State

USING YOUR CAMPUS ADDRESS: Find your Ringling campus address here. 

As a college student, you can either: 

a) Register to vote in the state you go to school in where you are currently living for college

(For Ringling students, that means Florida)

OR

b) Register to vote in the state you lived in before moving to college, using your parent's house as your address (and then do Vote by Mail). 

IN FLORIDA: 

Register to vote either online (if you have a Florida driver's license) or using a paper form that you mail in or drop off. You will have many opportunities to get a paper registration form while Ringling Votes does outreach programming, but feel free to ask a librarian how to get one!

You may also register to vote by mail either online or using the form. 

OUT OF STATE STUDENTS

Check RULES FOR YOUR STATE about dates and other important info.
