I am a college student. Where do I register to vote?

Students who lived in Nevada prior to attending school and who wish to establish or keep their Nevada voting residency (i.e., at their parents’ address), should have no problem doing so unless they have already registered to vote in another state. In Nevada, if you actually reside in the state, intend for your school address to be your home, and do not have a solid plan to move back to the place where you lived before school, you should be able to qualify as a resident for voting purposes. Nevada law has strong protections for students.

Will I need ID?

To register to vote in Nevada you should provide one of the following:
  • Your Nevada Driver's License or State non-driver ID Number
  • Last Four Digits of your Social Security Number
Beginning in late November 2026, you must show photo identification at the polls in order to vote. You can choose a document from this list:
  • Valid Nevada Driver's License
  • Any other form of ID issued by a governmental agency which contains the voter s signature and physical description or picture.
  • Valid Employee Photo ID from Federal or State government
