Hello! These are links compiled by the K Votes team. Please let us know if you have any questions or issues! (email: Riley.Gabriel@kzoo.edu)

We have specific links for the top three states that K Students are from. If your state is not one of these, you can use the third party links, they are safe. If you feel more comfortable using your state’s website, search for your state’s Secretary of State website and go to the elections tab.
