Voter Registration Initiative

The Voter Registration and Empowerment Initiative creates and implements a plan each year to ensure that all students at Brooklyn College receive information about voter registration, voter rights, and the poll worker initiative.

We hope to empower and engage all students to take advantage of their right to vote. Use your voice, and vote regularly.

Under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, the Center for Student Disability Services is an agency-based registration site, where students are offered the opportunity to become registered voters. Please contact the Center for Student Disability Services if you are in need of additional assistance in completing your voter registration forms.
