Voter Registration
As a Liberty student, you have the option to register to vote using your on-campus or off-campus address. Lynchburg, Virginia is your home while you are here at Liberty, and voting allows you to have a direct impact on how our local community and state are governed.
You can learn more about voting and voter registration on our informational webpage.
Current Efforts
Liberty University continues to encourage students to register to vote by:
- Providing voter information through the Office of Government Relations.
- During the Spring Semester of 2024, the Office of Government Relations presented voter registration information to parents and incoming students attending the “Parent Sessions” event for the Spring 2024 semester, including instructions on how students can get registered to vote and instructions on how residential students can vote at Liberty’s on-campus precinct.
- Throughout the Spring 2024 semester and going into the Fall 2024 semester, the Office of Government Relations has held and will continue to hold many meetings with student clubs, in which club leaders are informed of voter registration and ongoing efforts throughout the year in which they can choose to get involved.
- During the Fall 2024 semester, the Office of Government Relations will share information regarding voter registration and the November 2024 election with all Liberty University residential faculty, for the purpose of sharing the information with students in every residential class.
- Between August 19 – October 15, 2024, certified staff members and volunteers will be tabling around Liberty’s campus to provide students with answers to their voting and election day questions, as well as offer them the chance to fill out a voter registration application.
- Email and text blast campaigns to all students, faculty, and staff will be sent by the Office of Government Relations that include information on how to get registered to vote, deadline and election day reminders, links to register to vote, and links to find answers for commonly asked voting questions.
