To register to vote, you must be 18 years of age by the date of the election. Many students who are away at school have registered in the county where their parents live and vote by absentee ballot. Others choose to register in the county where they attend school, provided they have lived there 30 days before registering. At the polls or absentee. Once you've registered, you're eligible to vote.
Most voters go to their local polling place on election day and cast their ballots.
If you're registered in a county other than where you attend college, you'll have to drive to the county where you are registered. If you are registered in the county where you attend school, you vote at your assigned polling place in that county. If you are registered and don't know where to go to vote, call your county circuit clerk's office. If you are registered to vote in a county other than where you attend college and can't return on election day, you can vote by absentee ballot. You can vote absentee in the circuit clerk's office before election day.
