A voter studies his ballot before submitting it during early voting in 2020 at Columbia University's Forum in the West Harlem neighborhood of New York . Two studies, one of them by Bard College Vice President for Academic Affairs Jonathan Becker’s own group, support the idea that the 2022 law has not been fully carried out.
"Unfortunately, as two recent studies show, state and local election administrators have not adequately prioritized or fully implemented this critical voter protection legislation," Becker wrote."The vast majority of colleges in New York state do not have on-campus poll sites and there has been almost no change since the passage of this legislation."
"I think a lot of students don't know that they can register to vote at their campus address," said Caroline Smith, the Andrew Goodman Foundation’s programs director."I think this is a major reason why students tend to vote absentee" in their home state rather than where they attend school.
Private institutions with on-campus polling sites included Bard, Cornell University, New York University, Rochester Institute of Technology, Skidmore College, Syracuse University, Vassar College and Yeshiva University. Private institutions that did not have an on-campus site included Barnard College, Colgate University, Columbia College, Fordham University, Hamilton College, Hofstra University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Sarah Lawrence College, St. Bonaventure University, St.
