With early voting starting up last week and continuing through November 5th, it’s important that as students at ECU and it’s so important that we all get out and vote, especially since for many of us this is our first Presidential election. Regardless of the insanity of this election, it’s so neccessary that we exercise our right to vote and there are so many options for students and how to vote.
One Stop Voting
For students who live on campus and have not previously registered to vote, the ECU One Stop Voting office located in the back of the B lot off of 1st Street is available for our use. All tat is required for you to bring your one card student ID. Here is a link to find One Stop offices in all NC counties.
Out of State Voting
“Young people have the power to make a difference. An important way to achieve this is to make their voices heard at the polls on Election Day.” The Campus Vote Project is a great resource for out of state students to access information on how to participate in voting for our next President.

Absentee Ballot
