Students have a decision about where to register to vote.

You have a right to register to vote at the address you consider the place where you live, whether that is your family’s home or the place where you attend school. You should update your registration anytime this home address changes.

You may only be registered and vote in one location.

Mail-in Registration: The mail-in registration form requires your Nevada driver’s license or ID number or the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Online Registration: If you’re registering to vote online, you will need a Nevada driver’s license or ID number. Tribal ID cards may also be used if they meet certain requirements: nvsos.gov/sos/elections/election-information/same-day-registration.

Same Day Registration: If you are using Same Day Registration, you will need a Nevada driver’s license or ID number. Tribal ID cards may also be used if the requirements referenced above.

If your license or ID does not show your current residential address, you must also present one document proving your residence, which can include:

• Military identification card

• Utility bill, including, without limitation, a bill for electric,      gas, oil, water, sewer, septic, telephone, cellular telephone or cable      television service

• Bank or credit union statement

• Paycheck

• Income tax return

• Statement concerning the mortgage, rental or lease of a residence

• Motor vehicle registration

• Property tax statement

• Any other document issued by a governmental agency

Nevada does not require an ID to vote.

Completed mail ballots must be received by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day if submitted in person, or postmarked on or before Election Day and received no later than 5:00 p.m. on the fourth day after Election Day. Track your mail ballot at: nvsos.gov/votersearch/

Does Registering to Vote Affect my Federal Financial Aid?

Where you register to vote will not affect federal financial aid such as Pell Grants, Perkins or Stafford loans, or your dependency status for FAFSA.

Does Registering to Vote Affect my Status as a Dependent on My Parents’ Taxes?

Being registered to vote at a different address from your parents does not prevent them from claiming you as a dependent on their taxes.

Does Registering to Vote impact my Tuition Status?

Being deemed out-of-state for tuition purposes does not prevent you from choosing to register to vote in your campus community.

Will registering to vote in Nevada affect my driver’s license or car registration?

As a full-time student in Nevada, you may be required to obtain an Nevada driver’s license and update your car’s registration, regardless of whether you register to vote there. For more information, contact the Nevada Motor Vehicle Division.
