    I am a college student. Where do I register to vote?

    Students who lived in Connecticut before moving to another state for school, and who wish to establish or keep their Connecticut voting residency, should have no problem doing so unless they have already registered to vote in another state. To count as a resident under Connecticut law, you have to be a “bona fide resident.” While some older cases suggest that you might have to have intent to remain in Connecticut permanently, the Secretary of State’s office has said that you only need to have the “intent to remain indefinitely.” Basically, if you do not know what you are going to do or you do not have definite plans to leave the state, you should be able to establish Connecticut residency.

    Will I need ID?

    To register to vote in Connecticut you should provide one of the following:
    • Connecticut Learner's Permit
    • Last Four Digits of your Social Security Number
    • Your Connecticut Driver's License Number
    • Your Connecticut non-driver ID number
    If you do not have any of these IDs, you can provide a copy of one of the following with your registration application:
    • Current and Valid Photo ID
    • Government Issued Document that shows your current name and address
    • Utility Bill
    • Government Check
    • Bank Statement
    • Paycheck that Shows your Current Name and Address
    If you are registered to vote in Connecticut you are required to show ID to vote; or, you may instead sign an affidavit or similar document. Accepted forms of ID include:
    • Social Security Card
