Do you know students get to choose if they'd prefer to vote in the precinct their student housing is in or at their parents permanent address?

Know your rights.

The MN Voter Bill of Rights, which bears a strong resemblance to many others is listed at this site. So are descriptions of eligibility, etc., plus links to resources in states likely to see lots of eligibility challenges, such as Florida, Ohio, W. Va, Nevada, Missouri, and more. Tips in video form from a variety of non-partisan sources. A good resource for folks in "purple" states (or just in a purple state of mind.) Election day is Tuesday November 4th 2008 in every single state.
