Troy Jackson on Government Reform

 

 


Let college students vote where they attend college

OnTheIssues summary: The "Student Voter Registration Bill" disallows college students from voting in their college town if they live in college housing (students must vote where their parents live). This vote was on a committee report on whether the bill "Ought Not to Pass"; a YEA vote means "Let college students vote where they reside."

Legislative section to be removed:This subsection may not be construed to prevent a student at any institution of learning from qualifying as a voter in the municipality where the student resides while attending that institution.

New legislative section: A student is not a resident of a municipality where the student resides if the student lives in housing owned by an institution of learning while attending the institution unless the student lived in that municipality prior to attending the institution.

Legislative outcome: House voted 90-49-11 "Ought Not to Pass"; Troy Jackson voted YEA.
