Proposed bill bans student votes
State Rep. Gregory Sorg, R-Grafton, proposed legislation that would bar college students in New Hampshire from voting in their college's town by altering the requirements for voter eligibility, according to the text of the legislation. The bill changes the definition of domicile, requiring that an individual's residence for voting eligibility "be the most recent place where he or she as an adult or where his or her parents or legal guardians with whom he or she resided as a minor established physical presence" demonstrating an intention to keep that place as "his, her, or their principal and continuous place of physical presence," according to the bill. As students in New Hampshire would be effectively unable to vote in their college's state, their only voting option would be through an absentee ballot submitted to their primary home residences. SUPPORT FOR THE BILL State Rep.
