In compliance with the 1998 Higher Education Act, Bellarmine University will make available voter registration forms to all degree- or certificate-seeking students who attend classes on campus. The forms, which are supplied by the state, will be available before the registration cut-off date for every federal and gubernatorial election, as well as special elections for federal office.
The Kentucky State Office of Election’s website answers many questions about voting, allows one to download the voter registration form, and provides a listing of all County Clerk offices in the state where the forms can be sent. To register to vote, or for more information, go to http://sos.ky.gov/.
Students who are registered to vote in their home state may request an absentee ballot by contacting the county clerk in their hometown. Students from out of state can find their local county clerk's office by visiting the website www.firstgov.gov For a listing of Kentucky's county clerks go to: www.kysos.com/Elecfil/Genelectionfiles/countyclerk.asp.
