KSU students: a guide of where to vote
November 1, 2016
On Election Day next week, Kent State students who are registered on campus will likely be voting at one of three nearby polling locations: the Student Recreation and Wellness Center, the Kent Christian Life Center and the United Methodist Church in Kent.
Students who are registered off campus may be voting in different locations and should check their polling location through the Portage County Board of Elections, by name or by registered address. Students registered in Portage County who are taking part in early voting or sending in absentee ballots do not need to go to these polling locations, but must vote by Nov. 7 at the Portage County Board of Elections.
Students who are voting on Election Day, and are registered in the dorms, will vote in the following locations.
Note: All information is based off of dorm locations. Always follow the assignments for your polling location from official Board of Election notices. If you live off campus, confirm your polling location with the Portage County Board of Elections.
