This Year’s Midterm Elections are taking place on Tuesday Nov. 8. If you haven’t already, you can still register to vote in New York City, as long as you have been a resident for at least 30 days. If you’re unsure where to start, then this guide is for you.

Firstly, Student Develop.m.ent and Activities and Student Government Association will be hosting a voter registration drive on Wednesday Oct. 12 from 12-3 p.m. in the Hewitt Gallery. If you can’t make it, but still want to vote on important proposals like a $4.2 billion investment in renewable energy, improved storm and wastewater infrastructure, and zero-emissions school buses, Register to Vote | NYC Board of Elections is the place to go.

There, you will find the qualifications for registration and a link to the New York State Voter Registration Form, which must be mailed to New York City Board of Elections. The deadline to mail the completed form is Friday Oct. 14.
