<p>Do I register to vote with the school address (out of state), or this current state even though I’ll probably be out of state forever? I don’t really plan on returning. I guess I could send away for absentee ballots every election until I am out of school (years from now), but it doesn’t really make sense.</p>
<p>I’m wondering the same thing. I haven’t even made an effort to register because I knew I’d be moving before the next big election (and I didn’t really feel like voting for all the little things). My school has a day scheduled that they will have people there to register you, so I’m hoping I’ll have it figured out by then.</p>
<p>You can register at your school or home. It’s up to you to decide where your vote will matter more.</p>
<p>Legally, you can register either place. If one of the locations is a swing state and the other isn’t, then it probably makes sense to register in the swing state. I didn’t leave my state for school, but I remained registered in my home county rather than where my school is because it didn’t make a difference in either the senatorial or presidential elections, and I figured that I would know more about people running for local office in my (relatively small) hometown than people running for office near my school.</p>
<p>I Really Hope The Republican States Stay Republican</p>
<p>I am in a tough spot, as I will be attending school in Ohio but live in PA.
I really feel as though PA will be a battleground state this year, due to skepticism of BO(based on canvassing), as well as some serious bonus pay scandals involving state democrats. It may very well cause distrust in the Dems. It will complicate things further when Ron Paul unsuspends his campaign.
The big downside in retaining my PA residency is obtaining an absentee ballot, and the increasing liklihood that they will not count absentees unless necassary.
Tough decision…</p>
