As the presidential election gets closer and the campaign heats up, be sure you register to vote. You must be 18 years old, a U.S. citizen and a legal resident of Florida, and register at least 29 days in advance of an election to be eligible to vote in that given election. 

The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 require colleges and universities to make a good faith effort to distribute voter registration forms to each student.  

Lynn community members have several options for obtaining a voter registration application form, required for any first-time voter or already registered voters who have had a name or address change from the original registration.

• On campus, pick up a physical registration application at the Center for Student Involvement, on the second floor of the Student Center.
• Locally, obtain a voter registration application at the Palm Beach County Division of Elections or by calling the division and registering via phone.
• Florida residents may also register to vote online.
• The Palm Beach County Division of Elections is located at: 240 South Military Trail, West Palm Beach, FL 33415
• For students not living in Palm Beach County, the same process applies, but registration locations vary n each county.
