Vice President for Student Life Jon Dooley offers this weekly message to help students stay informed and prepare for the week ahead.
Early Voting is now available in North Carolina. Elon University hosts one of the five Alamance County early voting sites on-campus in South Gym. During the early voting period, you are able to register to vote and cast your ballot all in one visit. For details about the process, visit the ElonVotes! website. The early voting period will extend now through Nov. 2. For dates and times, visit the Alamance County Board of Elections website.
For your awareness, once the early voting period ends on Nov. 2, only those individuals who have already registered will be eligible to cast a ballot on Election Day. There is no same-day voter registration on Election Day in North Carolina and the deadline to register online or postmark a mail-in NC voter registration form has already passed.
Everything you need to know about voting in the upcoming election can be found at www.elon.edu/vote.
Here are the rest of your Phoenix Five tips for the week:
