Register to vote

UC San Diego students registering to vote

You're eligible to vote if you:

  • Are a United States citizen
  • Are a resident of California (even if you're a student originally from another state, you can register using your current California college address and you can vote in California; there is no extra wait time)
  • Are at least 18 years of age (or will be by the date of the next election)
  • Are not in prison or on parole for conviction of a felony
  • Have not been judged by a court to be mentally incompetent to register and vote

Seeking Civic Engagement Volunteers

Tritons Vote and AS Office of the Vice President of External Affairs are seeking students and staff volunteers for Civic Engagement activities like voter registration and informational tabling as we approach the 2024 Presidential Election this November.

The first 100 undergraduate students to sign up and attend a 3-hour shift during our Move-In Voter Registration will receive $25 in Triton Cash.

Sign up to volunteer

Choose where to vote

If you live in on campus, use the 9450 Gilman Drive address and your UCSD box number as your unit number. Read more about choosing one voter registration address — whether it's your dorm, your California permanent home county, or a different home state.
