The midterm elections are just a few weeks away! Are you ready to make your voice heard? If you’re one of the millions of college students voting for the first time this year, it can be hard to know where to start. So we're answering some of UC students' FAQs about registering to vote. 🗳️

ALT The image has a pink background with white text and colorful icons. It reads: "Am I allowed to vote? You need to be 18 years old by Election Day and a U.S. citizen (in addition to some other requirements). Not old enough this year? In California you can preregister at age 16 or 17. So when you turn 18, you’ll be set to vote." There are decorative icons like a music note, star, smiley face, and a check mark at the bottom.
