Connecticut Allows College Students to Vote!
From the Brennan Center for Justice: Students can establish residency in Connecticut if they have a present intention to remain at their Connecticut school address for the time being, and they intend to make it their principal home.[7] Any other interpretation of the residency laws is unconstitutional. To count as a resident under Connecticut law, you have to be a “bona fide resident,” which means that your “dwelling unit is located within the geographic boundaries” of the town in which you register to vote.[8]
