Get Involved: Register to Vote

One of the most basic ways for citizens to participate in a democracy is voting. To register to vote in New York State, a person must be a U.S. citizen; be 18 years old by the date of the general, primary or other election in which the person wants to vote; live at the same address at least 30 days before an election; not be in jail or on parole for a felony conviction; and not claim the right to vote elsewhere.

Voter registration forms are available on the campus of the SUNY College at Oneonta in the President's Office in the Netzer Administration Building, University Police Office in Alumni Hall,  Student Association Office in the Hunt College Union, Circulation Desk at Milne Library and the Center for Multicultural Experiences.

It is extremely important that you register to vote and that you become informed about the electoral process.
