National Voter Registration

In accordance with the provisions of the 1998 amendments of the Higher Education Act, Jamestown Community College participates in the distribution of mail voter registration forms to students enrolled in a certificate or degree program.

General Election Day for all states is in November 2006, and most states require eligible voters to register prior to that date.  Eligible students who are not registered may complete mail voter registration forms and mail them according to their state filing deadlines to participate in local, state and national elections:

Additional information regarding voter registration requirements and forms is available from your local county board of elections and can be downloaded from the following websites:

New York State voter registration forms are available to enrolled students each semester through the JCC Campus Life offices and the North County Extension Center main office. Voter registration forms for Pennsylvania residents are available at the JCC Warren site office and the Campus Life offices at the Jamestown and Cattaraugus County campuses.
