Voter Registration Information
Rutherford County encourages MTSU students to participate in
local, county, state and national elections.
To vote in elections in the State of Tennessee, one must be
registered
at least 30 days prior to the election date.Upon
receiving and approving the voter registration application form,
the Rutherford County Election Commission will assign the
individual a voting precinct (where the voter will vote on
election day based on residence address).
An individual who is registered to vote in their home county of
residence and is attending a university orcollege outside
their home of voter record may request an absentee ballot from
their County Election Commission office (check with your county
election office for deadlines), and vote by absentee ballot. Or
the student, if residing in Rutherford County, may choose to
change their county of residence (and spouse if applicable), and
register to vote in Rutherford County while attending MTSU (which
cancels voter registration in the previous county of residence),
and then vote either during the announced early voting period, or
on election day.
Voter Registration applications and other election information
may be obtained by visiting the Rutherford County Election
Commission website at:

Voter cards are mailed to the voter's address provided on the
registration application. MTSU students living on campus should
provide their residence address of
1301 East Main Street, with appropriate P.O. Box number
or if mail is received by general delivery.
