The University will host an on-campus polling location at the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History. Students living in the residence halls will be able to cast their votes at the Stone Center on March 3.

Students living off-campus should report to their designated polling location. Each voter’s assigned polling location is listed on their voter registration card and can also be found on the Orange County Board of Elections website.

For students planning to vote on March 3, the last day to register was Feb. 7.
