Voter Registration

Recent changes in the 1998 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act require universities to make available voter registration forms to students enrolled in on-campus classes. Any student not registered to vote may obtain an Indiana Mail-In Voter Registration Application (VRG-7i) from several convenient campus locations.

Voter registration applications are available from the following locations:

State of Indiana Voter Registration information page

Government Relations - Wright Administration Building, Room 102

Registrar's Office - Orr Center, Room 1075

Residence Life Center - front desk

Rice Library - Checkout desk, main floor

University Center Information Desk

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission also has the National Mail Voter Registration Form available online in PDF format. The form is acceptable in Indiana.

Voter registration forms are also available in the Vanderburgh County Election Office, public libraries, state license branches, and other locations.

Complete the application and mail it in. Mail-in voter registration applications must be postmarked no later than the registration deadline.
