If you’re a Pennsylvania resident living in another state where you attend college, or you’re an out-of-state student currently residing in the commonwealth for school, this info is for you.
If you’re a college student away at school, you may be wondering how to cast your vote on Election Day. Should you vote in your hometown or register to vote with your college address?
Basically, this is a personal decision. You may either register to vote using the address where you attend school, or remain registered at your permanent address.
Out-of-state students looking to register in Pennsylvania must be a resident of the state and their election district for at least 30 days. Pennsylvania residents who wish to vote in the state where they attend school should check local rules on residency requirements for voter registration, as they vary by state.
The most important thing to remember is that you can only be registered to vote in one location.
Whatever you choose, you have to register to vote at least 15 days before the election. We have everything you need to know about how to register to vote in Pennsylvania in this story.
