The next upcoming election is April 2, the 2024 Spring Election and Presidential Preference Vote. This is a great time to get out and make your choices known. Progress happens at the polls!
Lawrence wants to help you get there, so we are outlining a few helpful details and also providing a few areas of assistance to make sure you have all you need.
If you have not voted before in Wisconsin or if you have moved since you last voted, you will need to register to vote for the election.
VOTER REGISTRATION:
Register in person: Visit us at City Hall and register in person with the City Clerk’s Office through Friday, March 29, 2024. To speed up the process, please access the registration form online and have it filled out when you come in, or fill out the hardcopy form prior to coming to the counter. Please be sure to bring proof of your current residence.
Register at the polls: Go to your polling place on Election Day and register in person. You will be able to vote immediately after completing registration, so be sure to bring your proof of residence (Voter ID-see below) as well as your photo ID.
*Please note that online and mailed registrations deadline of March 13 has already passed. You will need to register in person if you wish to vote in the April 2nd election.
This form will speed your registration process if you complete it in advance, and it requires your street address at Lawrence, not the University address of 711 E. Boldt Way.
You can find your campus housing street addresses at https://www.lawrence.edu/offices/volunteer/student-voting-information
VOTER IDENTIFICATION: More than just your Lawrence ID card You may be asked to show your proof of Lawrence residency when you go to vote. The City Clerk has a record of your address, but you will need to bring a voter ID card which can be accessed here. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP THAT SHOULD NOT BE SKIPPED.

Hear about the amazing work and international network their Fulbright enabled. We’ll also show you how to explore different Fulbright opportunities on the website and leave time for questions and conversation.
If you are thinking of applying for this September’s deadline, spring and summer is a great time to start. Even if your sabbatical isn’t for a while yet, come, get encouraged and informed. If you can’t make it to the session, feel free to set up a meeting with one of us to explore further.

Cabaret is free for Lawrence students! Tickets can be purchased at the Box Office.
Cabaret is Lawrence International’s flagship event. It is an annual celebration of cultures, traditions, clothes, performances, and cuisine from across the globe, and it has been going on for over 40 years. It brings together a plethora of different cultures represented on campus (which promotes integration among the cultures), and fosters a positive social dynamic among LI and Lawrence community members.
A Cabaret is a unique event that promotes an understanding of diversity in Lawrentians and members of the greater community. Many students from numerous countries prepare for months to participate and get a chance to show their cultures.
Any student can participate in any performance and can join the fashion show to represent their own or another country.
Every year, faculty members, friends families, their children, and other community members participate and get a first-hand glimpse of other cultures.
