Name & Address

Use your full name (not a nickname) and the address where you believe you are registered, using proper USPS formatting. (For residence halls, use the street address, not the dorm name.)

Registration Not Found?

If your registration is not found, click 'What do I do now?', and select the option to check directly with your state, as state tools are typically more accurate and up-to-date.

If you registered recently, it may take several weeks for your registration to be processed. If a previous registration is not found in your state's tool, we recommend re-registering.

NU Votes is a non-partisan voter engagement initiative administered by Northwestern University’s Center for Civic Engagement. Northwestern does not endorse or oppose any candidate or organization in connection with any political campaign or election.

Please Note: NU Votes is simply an effort to help students register and vote themselves. Students are responsible for working with their own local election officials to verify local laws and policies about voting in their respective districts, and to ensure that their registration and/or voting materials have been properly processed. If you do not receive accurate registration and/or voting materials from your local election officials in a timely manner, please contact them directly to follow up.
