Voting Overseas

U.S. citizens living abroad have the right to vote as absentee voters, provided they are eligible to vote in their state.

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

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

Students who lived in Pennsylvania before moving elsewhere to attend school, and who wish to establish or keep their Pennsylvania voting residency (i.e., at their parents’ Pennsylvania address), should have no problem doing so unless they have already registered to vote in another state. Students attending school in Pennsylvania should be able to register and vote at their school address because Pennsylvania law gives students the explicit right to register to vote in the district where they attend college. For this reason, it is highly unlikely that you would have your registration denied on the basis of residency or face a residency challenge in Pennsylvania.
