Where should you register to Vote?

As a college student, you can register to vote in either your home state OR Boston (where you live while you're at college). There are multiple considerations when choosing where to register. 

  • Which is more convenient? Would you be more likely to vote absentee because your state will automatically send you an absentee ballot? Or is Boston easier because you can walk to your polling location?
  • Do you want to vote for Mayor of Boston? Boston is electing it's mayor this year, in 2025. 
  • Are you interested in voting in your home state's midterm elections? Register now and update your address so you're absentee ballot will come to your college address next year
