College Students
As a college student, you have a choice as to where to cast your ballot. You may select only one residence and vote once in any given election:
If you live at home while attending school, you vote at your hometown polling place.
If you live on campus, you may vote either at your hometown polling place (as long as you still have a permanent residence there) or at the polling place in the neighborhood where your school is located (but not at both places).
If you live off campus at school, you may vote either at your hometown polling place (as long as you still have a permanent residence there) or at the polling place for your off campus residence (but not at both places).
