Special Notes for UVA Students
1. Registering to Vote
a. Please note the following:
i. If you have changed addresses since the last time you registered to vote, you must register again with your new address even if it is in the same precinct.
ii. If you have recently turned 21 and received a new driver’s license, please check your register HERE. It is possible that the DMV registered you at your permanent address if you indicated that you would like to register to vote.
2. New section on volunteering
a. If you are interested in volunteering for voter registration drives throughout the school year, please sign up HERE.
b. Volunteering opportunities are based on drives happening on a weekly basis, and any volunteers who indicate availability during those periods will be emailed beforehand to confirm their availability.
