Office of Accessibility Services

This Office is a National Voter Registration Act Voter Registration Site.
The Office of Accessibility Services is a New York State Agency-Based Voter Registration Site, where students with disabilities are offered information, voter registration application forms and the opportunity to register to vote.  We will be glad to help you fill out the form or provide assistance registering through CUNYfirst. There is no obligation to register to vote and the student's decision will have no effect on services offered by The Office of Accessibility Services. 

Voter registration information and application forms are also available at the website for the State Board of Elections of the State of New York .
