Early voting runs Oct. 26-Nov. 3.

“We spend every day preparing CUNY students to be socially aware participants in oursociety, and voting season allows us to expand that reach as we welcome New Yorkers onto our campuses to exercise their right to vote,” said CUNY Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez. “At CUNY, we are proud to once again play a role in allowing the community to make theirvoices heard and shape the next generation.”

In addition to polling sites, the University has promoted student voter registration, participation and awareness through its CUNY Votes initiative, a comprehensive and non-partisan effort coordinating civic engagement across CUNY’s 25 colleges.

Eligible New Yorkers who have not yet registered to vote may continue to do so until Oct. 26. Registration information is available on the webpages for CUNY Votes, the New York State Board of Elections and the New York City Board of Elections. 

At the polls, New Yorkers will vote for the country’s next president and vice president, along with federal and state legislators as well as state and local judges. In addition, voters are strongly encouraged to flip their ballots to vote on one state proposal and five city proposals.

Founded in 1847 as the nation’s first free public institution of higher education, CUNY today has seven community colleges, 11 senior colleges and seven graduate or professional institutions spread across New York City’s five boroughs, serving more than 233,000 undergraduate and graduate students and awarding 50,000 degrees each year. CUNY’s mix of quality and affordability propels almost six times as many low-income students into the middle class and beyond as all the Ivy League colleges combined. More than 80 percent of the University’s graduates stay in New York, contributing to all aspects of the city’s economic, civic and cultural life and diversifying the city’s workforce in every sector. CUNY’s graduates and faculty have received many prestigious honors, including 13 Nobel Prizes and 26 MacArthur “genius grants.” The University’s historic mission continues to this day: provide a first-rate public education to all students, regardless of means or background.
