College students who want to vote sometimes have extra and unique considerations, beyond the standard requirements guiding elections. This free voter registration training will provide information to help volunteers answer questions college students might ask when registering to vote or planning to vote in an election. The training will be offered Tuesday, September 1, 2026, from 6:00–7:15pm via Zoom. This session is open to both League members and the general public.

Topics include how to:

• Clarify where the college student wants to vote (at home or at school)

• Use a student ID and supporting enrollment documents when registering to vote or casting a ballot

• Think through how the address changes common to college students – living on-campus, moving off-campus moving days before an election - impact where they can vote in Wisconsin.

Presenters will role-play a scenario involving a college student wanting to register to vote, will provide handouts, and will answer questions.

Attendees are encouraged to have some understanding of or experience in the basics of voter registration in Wisconsin before taking this training. A recording of LWV-GCV’s most recent voter registration training can be found at Voter Registration Training - March 9, 2026

At the end of the training, volunteers should feel comfortably knowledgeable in helping college students register to vote and to know how to access expert resources for answering questions.
