Voting as a student

You may vote at your home address or your school address, after you arrive on campus, but you may only vote in one location.

If voting from your home address, be sure to check your state’s absentee and mail-in ballot requirements. If voting in Missouri, make sure you register to vote by Oct. 7, 2026.
