Frequently Asked Questions & Resources
How long must you live in a state to be able to be registered to vote there?
Rules about length of residency are depending on their individual states. For example, according to Vote.org, 17 states require voters to have lived in their voting precincts for at least 30 days prior to the upcoming election. If an election is taking place soon after you move to a new state, you may want to stay registered in your home state for that election.
Can I register to vote in my home state and the state I go to school in?
No, you do not have the right to vote in more than one location. In fact, it's a felony — and considered voter fraud — to register to vote in multiple locales.
