NCI Office of Student Affairs
The 1998 Higher Education Act requires all post-secondary institutions to distribute information to students concerning voter registration. Tennessee residents who wish to register to vote may
do so by clicking the following link: https://sos.tn.gov/elections
North Central Institute students are encouraged to participate in local, county, state, and national elections. To participate in elections in Tennessee, an individual must be registered at least 30 days prior to election date. Upon receiving and approving the voter registration application form, the Montgomery County Election Commission will
assign the individual a voting precinct, based on residence address.
This is where the individual will vote on election day.
