KEENE, NH – If you are a college student confused about how to vote in the New Hampshire primary on Feb. 9, you are not alone.

Samantha Sottile, 21, a Keene State College senior, wondered how to register.

“I am not too sure how to go about voting because I am not a resident of New Hampshire,” said Sottile.

It can be confusing, but the New Hampshire Secretary of State has a section on college student voting on its website that can clear things up for you. See here.

And ACLU-NH has held some campus seminars to help students figure out how to register to vote.

A presentation by Christina Gibson of the ACLU-NH and NextGen Climate at Keene State College on Wednesday explained that students can register to vote in the town where they live while attending college even if they are from another state as long as they turn 18 on or before the Feb. 9 primary.

All people can register with their local town clerk until 10 days before an election or at the polls on election day.
