<p>Do mids register to vote in Annapolis, or are they still considered legal residents of their home towns? My son is turning 18 at the end of May, and I'm wondering if we need to make sure he registers to vote at home before he reports for I-day, or will he have to register in Annapolis. Question occurred to me since dependent-status of mids is different from regular college students.</p>
<p>From a tax perspective the are still residents of their home state. Don't know how that relates to voting, mine registered in his home state and requested an absentee ballot for super Tuesday.</p>
<p>I asked him about registering in MD for the general election and his comment - without checking with any upper class - was how can we get to the polls without having liberty on Tuesdays. He was not sure if they would get liberty or whether there would be a poll on the yard. He thinks he will stay registered in his home state and vote absentee.</p>
<p>Military members place votes in their legal home of residence. Midshipmen are provided with the necessary information to request absentee ballots.</p>
<p>Thanks for the information!</p>
<p>Say someone has a birthday during plebe summer how does he go about registering?</p>
<p>Check with your registrar of voters. In California, you can register before your birthday as long as you are 18 before the next election.</p>
<p>I just registered and the form asks you to check a box saying that you will be 18 before or on the day of the election, not if you're already 18. For my municipality you can also request absentee ballots by mail. You could have your parents send you the forms over the summer or do it before you leave.</p>
<p>In Virginia, 17 year olds can vote in the primaries if they will reach 18 years of age by the general election.</p>
