Get Out the Vote (GOTV) is a campaign to raise awareness about voter responsibility. We want to make sure your voice is heard in all upcoming elections.
Your first step is to register to vote. DePaul has partnered with TurboVote to make registering to vote and voting simple. No matter where you call home or where or how you plan to vote, TurboVote can help you! Go to TurboVote now!
I'm not sure if I'm registered to vote. What do I do?
If you're not sure if you are registered to vote , TurboVote can help you with that, too. As part of registering for the service, they will check the name and address you enter against a list of current registered voters in Illinois, or you can use their registration lookup service. Remember, though, you can only be registered to vote and can only vote in one state--either your home state (if applicable), or the state your college or university is in (Illinois). If you are not sure if you are registered to vote in your home state, you will have to check with your state's State Board of Elections.
If I live on-campus, what address do I use to register to vote?
You'll want to use your campus mailing address and not the address of your residence hall.

Where can I register to vote?
To register to vote in your home state, you will have to refer to the local rules, laws and procedures for registering to vote in that state, and when you vote, you will do so using an absentee ballot, so be sure to request your ballot with enough time to receive it and send it back prior to the election closing.
