College students in Louisiana are eligible to vote in Louisiana, even if their permanent address is out-of-state.
You can register to vote using the street address of the building where you live, either on or off campus. Do not use a campus mailbox address to register, but you can use a campus mailbox as your mailing address. If you’re not sure what address to use, contact your school’s civic engagement office or local election office.
Are you already registered to vote in your home state, but you want to change your registration to your college state? Most counties and states do not require you to cancel your voter registration after you move, but doing so helps your local election officials.
