September 12, 2022

Dear Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Students,

We know that many of you are registered voters in your home states and care deeply about voting in the November elections. To support Â鶹Æƽâ°æ students in exercising your right to vote in Fall 2022, Â鶹Æƽâ°æ has launched a university-wide initiative, Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Votes, that assists students in requesting absentee or mail-in ballots and connecting local students to in-person voting information.

Each state sets its own rules for out-of-state voting. Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Votes provides tools and practical support, including:

• State-by-state instructions on ;
• In-person assistance in requesting absentee or mail-in ballots on September 19, 20, and 21 at Absentee Ballot Days @ Â鶹Æƽâ°æ, at the front of the Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Library. We’ll help you navigate the steps in YOUR state, including providing supplies, postage, and document notarization (if your state requires it).

Now is the time to start the process if you haven’t done so already. You must submit a request for an absentee or mail-in ballot in time to receive the ballot, vote, and submit it by your state-authorized deadline. You can ensure your vote counts by attending Absentee Ballot Days @ Â鶹Æƽâ°æ to get support requesting your absentee ballots.

We encourage all Â鶹Æƽâ°æ students who will not be in their state of residence on Election Day (November 8) to request absentee or mail-in ballots and vote. Visit Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Votes for more information, including a sign-up sheet to receive voting reminders and/or get involved.

Sincerely,
Fanta Aw
