Each state has different rules regarding domestic absentee voting. Some states impose additional requirements, like witness and/or notary signatures. We've got answers for you here. If you plan on absentee voting, either by mail or by placing a ballot in a drop box, your own signature may not be enough to successfully cast a ballot in some states. You must also obtain either a notary signature to either apply for an absentee ballot or submit a completed ballot. As of now, the following states need a notary signature: Missouri, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and South Dakota . If you're absentee voting in these states, Tisch College has got you covered! On Tuesday, February 20, at 10–11 a.m. and Thursday, February 22, at 3–4 p.m., we will be holding two office hours with a Notary present and ready to sign off on your absentee ballots. Remember to bring your ID to the visit! You’ll be required to present ID, sign an attestation, and obtain the notary’s stamp and signature. If the office hour times don’t work for you, please email waideen.wright@tufts.edu to schedule an appointment with the Notary.

On Thursday, February 22, at 6 p.m. in Cummings Center Room 160, renowned shoe designer and entrepreneur Stuart Weitzman will share his insights, emphasizing that business success and creativity can coexist.
