Chancellor Biddy Martin encouraged students via e-mail Monday to take part in the election and vote Tuesday.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The location of each student's polling place is based on their current address. Students who have not already registered can easily do so at the polls with proper proof of residence.
Because voter turnout will likely be high, Martin advised students to plan ahead, and to be flexible and patient with any voting delays.
In several e-mails over the past week, administration officials urged faculty members to be accommodating toward students and allow for tardiness or missed classes if poll lines are long.
