In the Summer of 2022, SUNY Oswego committed to the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge's Presidential Commitment, confirming SUNY Oswego's commitment to striving toward full student voter participation.
This Challenge works towards making plans and taking action to increase nonpartisan student civic learning, political engagement, and especially voter participation.
What is Vote Oswego?
Vote Oswego is a project to help members of the Oswego community make an impact in all elections by stressing the importance of political participation no matter the political affiliation; making registration fun, easy, and secure; providing personalized support; and encouraging eligible voters to submit absentee ballots or go to the polls.

How do I vote when I'm not registered to vote in Oswego?
Voting is still possible and easy even though you'll be in Oswego on Election Day!
An absentee ballot is a vote cast by someone who is unable or unwilling to attend the official polling station to which the voter is normally allocated.
If the student is registered to vote at their home address that is not located in Oswego County and they plan on being in Oswego on Election Day, they can vote absentee.
Here's how to request an absentee ballot in NYS!
