If you're a student that
spends several weeks or months a year in different locations,
but want to vote in Texas, you will need to decide which place
in Texas is the geographic location you consider to be your
permanent home to which you intend to return after any temporary
absence. When you are describing your residence on the voter
application, please remember that you are making a factual
statement to the best of your knowledge and belief. You are
presumed under Texas law to be in the best position to make a
factual determination concerning where your residence is for
registration purposes. However, you cannot register in more than
one location; if you register at a voter registration drive in
one county, but put another Texas county as your home on the
application, your application will be forwarded to the Texas
county of your residence description. |

If you are
registered at one location in Texas, and will be away from your
home Texas county during early voting and on election day, and
wish to vote by mail, you can have a ballot mailed to you.
If you
consider yourself a permanent resident of another state, you
will need to consult with the authorities in that state for
their registration and ballot by mail procedures.

With
respect to election officials and others who often provide
advice to students about certain residency issues for voter
registration purposes, please inform a student that if they
consider their parent's address to be their permanent residence,
they may use that address as their registration address. If they
would like to register to vote at their college address, they
may do so. However, students cannot be registered at both
places. The general rule of thumb for election officials and
those engaged in voter registration drives is that wherever the
student claims residency, that is where they should be
registered to vote.
