Register to Vote
The 1998 reauthorization of the federal Higher Education Act includes a requirement that higher education institutions make a “good faith effort” to make mail voter registration forms available to all enrolled students. This federal legislation supports the campus’s long-standing goals of engendering leadership and citizenship among the student body. UCSB provides students with several options for registering to vote. Voter registration forms are available at numerous campus locations, including the Office of Student Life (2260 Student Resource Building (SRB)), and the U.S. Post Office (UCen), or may be requested on-line at www.sa.ucsb.edu/voterreg or by calling (800) 345-VOTE. Students must re-register to vote if they have moved, changed names, or wish to change party affiliation. For further information on registration and voting, contact the Office of Student Life at (805) 893-7884.
