>Both tax law and Federal financial aid regulations consider a full-time college student as a dependent of his or her parents and thus legally domiciled with his or her parents, unless they meet certain criteria to gain independent status.<

Thanks for confirming the above. Having just gone through completing a FAFSA, it’s pretty clear students are clearly connected to their parents, as far as the government is concerned. Therefore, they should vote where they live, not where they attend college.

Bump. You vote wherever you are legally domiciled. And, if you are financially dependent on your parents (if at least for tax purposes), then you are considered legally domiciled at the residence of your parents.

As a side note, anyone who willfully tries to vote twice (here at UVA or at Tech) and in their home jurisdiction ought to go to jail. Furthermore, anyone at UVA who makes a false statement to the Registrar of the County of Albemarle or the City of Charlottesville in order to vote twice ought to have honor charges brought up and upon conviction be expelled.
