Young Han '06 was the subject of a recent Associated Press article titled "Student Could Run for Office at Home but Can't Vote."  Han claims he has tried to register with the County Board of Elections three times since last October but was told that he should fill out an absentee ballot for his home state. 

Han argues that he is home only one-and-a-half months a year and that absentee voter hurdles discourage many students from voting at all. According to the article, Oneida County is one of many places in New York that consider college students living in dormitories as temporary residents and therefore ineligible to vote.
