TurboVote Information

NOTE: Marquette receives aggregate data from TurboVote regarding numbers of users, numbers of completed voter registrations and numbers of participants who plan to vote, but it does not receive information on individual users.

Marquette University students, faculty and staff are not required to sign up for a TurboVote account, as it is a voluntary process.  Links to registration and voting information are also listed on this website on the Frequently Asked Questions page (under "Can I vote absentee and/or how do I register to vote in my home state?").

According to the Federal Student Aid Program, this information is posted to comply with Section 487(a)(23) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 that references the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) and requires higher education institutes to distribute voter registration forms to their students.
