Bard Students Vote
Bard was named one of the top 10 colleges for student voting in the United States, with a voter registration rate topping 85%.*
The Election@Bard team works tirelessly to ensure your right to vote. Bard students, staff, and faculty have been fighting voter suppression in Dutchess County for decades, and recently won a legal battle to secure an on-campus polling place. Are you registered to vote yet? Registration is easy, and we’ll help you with the process.
