Students who lived in North Dakota before moving elsewhere to attend school, and who wish to establish or keep their North Dakota voting residency (i.e., at their parents’ North Dakota address), should have no problem doing so unless they have already registered to vote in another state. Students attending school in North Dakota should be able to establish residency and vote at their school address if they intend to make their college towns their residence and do not intend to return back home after school. The North Dakota Constitution requires voters to be residents of the state, and North Dakota law requires that you reside in the precinct where you wish to vote for thirty days prior to the election. A voter may only have one residence, which is “an actual fixed permanent dwelling.”
