Where should I vote?
It’s a dilemma many civic-minded college students face: “Should I vote absentee back home – or should I re-register at my school?”
Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as deciding which state, senator or representative needs your vote the most. The state laws governing voting eligibility can be both confusing and restrictive.
To help clear up that confusion, Blue State Digital worked with the Brennan Center to launch their “Student Voting Guide,” a comprehensive and interactive map for students to determine where they can vote. The map displays ID, residency, registration, and absentee voting requirements for both students’ home states and school states.
The map’s data was built directly into BSD’s content management system, allowing the Brennan Center to update the map the same easy way it would update a blog post or press release. There are also widget versions of the map available to add to your facebook page, blog or web site.
Take a look at this handy map and pass it along to any students you know:
