As of September 10, 2024
There are important federal as well as important local elections. American University students who are citizens are typically eligible to vote absentee. Use the information by state to register and/or request an absentee ballot. If you need a stamp/envelope in order to vote, come to the Circulation/Borrowing desk in the library.
Please note! There are concerns about post office delays. If you are going to vote absentee, request and return your ballot as early as possible.
This guide provides the information on all steps of the voting process, geared towards students who will not be present at their permanent address on election day.
On this site, you will find the information you need arranged by state.
