Why does my vote count more in certain states?
Your vote counts more in a swing state because it can swing the election.
Swing states are states where the election is close and a small number of votes can change the outcome. For example, in 2020, Biden won the state of Georgia by a razor-thin margin of just 11,779 votes — and there are more than 300,000 college students in Georgia!
How do you decide which states count more?
Our list of swing states is from the 2024 Cook Political Report.
Can I legally register in my home state or school state?
Yes, you can register in either state. Registering to vote in a new state will typically cancel your registration in any previous state. Voting in two states is illegal, being registered in two states is not.
