Dear AU Students,

We know that many of you are registered voters in your home states and care deeply about voting in the November elections. To support AU students in exercising your right to vote in Fall 2022, Â鶹´«Ã½ has launched a university-wide initiative, AU Votes, that assists students in requesting absentee or mail-in ballots and connecting local students to in-person voting information.

Each state sets its own rules for out-of-state voting. AU Votes provides tools and practical support, including:

• State-by-state instructions on ;
• In-person assistance in requesting absentee or mail-in ballots on September 19, 20, and 21 at Absentee Ballot Days @ AU, at the front of the AU Library. We’ll help you navigate the steps in YOUR state, including providing supplies, postage, and document notarization (if your state requires it).

Now is the time to start the process if you haven’t done so already. You must submit a request for an absentee or mail-in ballot in time to receive the ballot, vote, and submit it by your state-authorized deadline. You can ensure your vote counts by attending Absentee Ballot Days @ AU to get support requesting your absentee ballots.

We encourage all AU students who will not be in their state of residence on Election Day (November 8) to request absentee or mail-in ballots and vote. Visit AU Votes for more information, including a sign-up sheet to receive voting reminders and/or get involved.

Sincerely,
Fanta Aw
