New On-Campus Voting Precinct

Dear Campus Community,

We are pleased to announce that Norfolk State University will have a new on-campus voting precinct on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

Please review the information below carefully. The on-campus precinct is not available to all NSU students, faculty and staff. Your registered address determines where you are eligible to vote.

Who May Vote at The On-Campus Precinct?

The on-campus voting precinct is ONLY for students who live in a residence hall directly on the NSU campus and are registered to vote using their campus residence hall address.

Voting precincts are assigned based on the address listed on your voter registration. Simply attending Norfolk State University does not make you eligible to vote at the campus precinct.

Who May Not Vote at the On-Campus Precinct?

The following individuals are not assigned to the campus precinct based solely on their affiliation with NSU:

  • Faculty and staff

  • Students who live at Proximity

  • Students who live at Park Place

  • Commuter students and other students who live off campus

These voters must vote at the polling location assigned to the address listed on their voter registration.

All Voters: Check Your Registration Status Now

We strongly encourage every member of the campus community to confirm their voter registration status and verify the address currently listed on their registration. Your registered address determines your Election Day polling location.

Check your registration status or register to vote (with a Virginia driver's license or State ID) here: https://norfolk.gov/nsuvote

The last day to register to vote is Friday, October 23, 2026.

Out-of-State Students with an Out-of-State Driver's License or State ID Who Wish to Register in Virginia

If you are an eligible on-campus student who has an out-of-state driver's license or state-issued ID and wish to register to vote in Virginia, you must complete a paper voter registration application.

For assistance, visit:

Student Services Center, Room 319
Monday–Friday | 9 a.m.–5 p.m.

Need To Request an Absentee Ballot from Your Home State?

Students who plan to remain registered in their home state and vote absentee should begin that process immediately due to the approaching election date.

Visit www.eac.gov for information about voting in your home state and requesting an absentee ballot.

Thank you for taking the time to review this important information. Whether you vote on campus or at another polling location, check your registration, know where you vote, and make your plan for Election Day.

We look forward to seeing the NSU community make its voice heard on November 3!
