Vote — your voice matters
Register to VoteStudents can register to vote in the state where they attend college, which allows you to make an impact on laws and policies in your college town. You can also choose to vote in your home area. Either way, your vote counts.
In-State Student
Oklahoma's Voter Registration Deadlines can be viewed on the Oklahoma State Election Board website.
Out-of-State Student
To register in your home state, you will need to use your permanent address. In most cases, this is the address where your parents/guardians live. Keep in mind that if you register to vote in a place other than Stillwater, your voting plan may need to accommodate travel or requesting a vote by mail/absentee ballot.
As an OSU student, you can register to vote in Oklahoma without an Oklahoma driver's license. You would need to utilize your campus/Stillwater address and your social security number. When you go to vote, you can present your student ID card as proof of identity or your voter card.
How to vote
Why vote? Because every voice matters. Voting is your right to stand up for issues you care about. Even if it isn’t a presidential election year, your vote will have an impact in your local and state elections.
If you plan on voting in Stillwater or another town in Oklahoma, you can find your polling location on the Oklahoma State Election Board website. Make sure to check it out because your polling location may have changed. If voting elsewhere, use the Voting Guide for all 50 states to find your polling location.
