No — and anyone who tells you otherwise is confusing you on purpose. Registering only happens with your state. Your plan links you straight to your state's official registration site (or the national mail form) and tells you the deadline; the registering itself happens there.

Every state offers an official lookup. Pick your state in the plan builder or on the state pages and we'll point you at it. If you've moved or changed your name since you last voted, check — registrations go stale.

You might still be fine: 23 states (and DC) offer some form of same-day registration. Your plan flags this automatically — and if your state doesn't offer it, there's always the next election, and we'll show you its dates too.

It depends on your state: nine mail every voter a ballot automatically, most others let anyone request one, and a handful require an excuse. Your plan (or your state page) gives you the straight answer plus the official request link and both deadlines — requesting it and returning it.

Usually your choice: your campus address or your home address — one or the other, not both. Compare the two states' rules on our state pages; deadlines and mail-ballot options can differ a lot.

You have a dedicated (and actually pretty good) federal process: FVAP.gov handles registration and absentee ballots for voters abroad.

ID rules vary more than any other rule — by state, and sometimes by whether you're a first-time voter. Your state page links directly to your election office, which publishes the exact accepted-ID list.

All 2026 statewide dates: every state primary, known runoffs, and the November 3 general election — see the full calendar. City and county races are scheduled locally; your election office link covers those.

No. CampusVotes is an independent, nonpartisan civic project. What we are careful about: every action link in the product goes to an official government source, and we tell you to confirm anything critical with your election office.

Your plan exports as calendar events — with alerts built in, a week before and the day before each deadline. Your own calendar does the reminding; we never learn who you are. (There's a Google Calendar link option too.)

Really. No accounts, no cookies, no analytics scripts, no forms that submit anywhere. Your answers live in your browser tab and die with it. The full (short) story is in our privacy policy.

State election offices, vote.gov, Ballotpedia's 2026 election calendars, and vote.org's state guides — cross-checked and compiled in July 2026. Rules occasionally change; if you spot something off, tell us and we'll fix it fast.

Yes — that's a thing we do. Universities, companies, and nonprofits run CampusVotes on their own domain with their own branding. See partners.

Free for voters, forever — no ads, no upsells, and nothing about you to sell.
