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

My school's address or my parent's address?

Students who lived in Nebraska prior to attending school and who wish to establish or keep their Nebraska voting residency (i.e., at their parents’ address), should have no problem doing so unless they have already registered to vote in another state. Nebraska case law makes clear that the possibility of moving after you finish school should not matter in determining residency. Students who consider their school community their principal residence should not have a problem registering and voting.
