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

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

Students who lived in New Hampshire prior to attending school and who wish to establish or keep their New Hampshire voting residency (i.e., at their parents’ address), should have no problem doing so, unless they have already registered to vote in another state. The Secretary of State of New Hampshire has specifically stated that students have the right to choose between keeping their residence at the place they lived before attending school or establishing residence in their school community. New Hampshire’s laws make clear that a student who considers herself a New Hampshire resident and has the intent to make her New Hampshire residence her home can vote in the state.
