Can You Register To Vote In Multiple States

One of the basic tenets of democracy is that each person has 1 vote. In practise, state laws vary regarding the definition of "voting more than once" and particularly what happens if a voter casts a ballot in more than than one state.

The Definition of Double Voting

Most commonly, states prohibit voting more than once "in the same ballot." This tin be interpreted in dissimilar ways. Is voting in more one state but on the same day voting in the "same ballot"? Or is each state-run election a separate election? What if voting occurred on different days, i.due east. a voter cast an absentee election in one state and voted in person in some other country on Election Day? Table 1 below contains country-by-state statutory language. In summary:

12 states explicitly prohibit voting in more than one state: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oregon, South Dakota, Virginia, and Washington.
7 states prohibit voting twice within the state or for the same office: Alabama, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Mississippi and West Virginia.
31 states and Washington, D.C., prohibit voting twice in the same ballot: Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Due north Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
In Indiana voting twice is not explicitly mentioned, but a person may non knowingly apply for or receive a election in a precinct other than the precinct in which the person is entitled to vote. And, registering to vote more than once is a misdemeanor.

Underlying these state statutes is the Voting Rights Human activity's prohibition on "voting more than once." 52 The statesC. § 10307(e). NCSL has been unable to detect a prosecution of any person under that statute for voting in multiple states at the aforementioned time (for case, voting for state and federal offices in the 2016 election in State Ten and for state offices in State Y, when the voter owns residences in both states). Thus, the question of whether federal law prohibits such voting practices remains unresolved.

Is Double Voting a Crime?

Double voting is often listed every bit a felony in states, and can come up with hefty fines or jail time. Although statistics prove it to be rare, it is also difficult to identify and difficult to prosecute when information technology does occur.

It is not always clear when double voting has happened across country lines, given the variation between states' policies. Below are three scenarios for a voter who voted in two states on the aforementioned federal ballot date:

Neither state prohibits "voting more than in one case."In this scenario, no criminal offence has occurred, considering there is no federal statute prohibiting double-voting. Voter registration in multiple states is non itself a crime, and thus no 1 can be prosecuted for just having 2 open up voter registrations in different jurisdictions.
At to the lowest degree one state prohibits "voting more than once," only the prohibiting state does not define "voting more than once." Whether or non the voter violated the law varies by jurisdiction. In a prominent prosecution described beneath, the voter did non violate the law. In that 2015 court instance, an Arizona woman was charged with casting an absentee vote in Colorado and an in-person vote in Arizona during a midterm ballot. She was charged in Arizona with illegally voting twice, and was bedevilled past a jury trial. An appeals court overturned her conviction, noting that the Arizona statute as it stood at the time—A.R.S. § 16-1016(2)—did not apply to situations other than voting for an function twice. Because different senators and members of the U.S. House were upwardly for ballot in each state, the court held that the elections were unique to each state, and therefore the voter had not voted twice in violation of the statute. State v. Hannah, 355 P.3d 607 (Ariz. 2015). In light of the ruling, the Arizona Legislature passed an amendment in 2016 to the statute redefining voting more than once equally significant "knowingly votes in this state in an election in which a federal function appears on the ballot and votes in another state in an ballot in which a federal office appears on the ballot[,] and the election day for both states is the same date." A.R.Due south. § 16-1016(iv).
At to the lowest degree one state (New Hampshire) prohibits "voting more once." New Hampshire defines "voting more than once" to prohibit voting in an election in 2 or more states on the aforementioned day.: In this scenario, the voter has likely violated the laws of the prohibiting state, and would be in trouble with the police.

Ways to Forbid Double Voting

States, not the federal government, are charged with overseeing elections. There is not a national voter registration listing—only state registration lists.

Since the U.Southward. has a very mobile population and voters rarely inform election officials when they move, voters tin can often be on the voter rolls in two (or more) different states at once. Unless states accept an efficient fashion of communicating with ane some other, it's possible that they may not be able to identify an individual who is on the rolls in 2 different states. An always-increasing number of states are participating in crosschecks with other states to aid identify voters who accept moved (more than information found on NCSL's Voter List Accuracy page), which tin help with identifying potential duplicate registrations and by extension, double voters.

Election officials may also larn that a voter has moved by running a check confronting the U.South. Mail service's National Change of Address (NCOA) database. Fifty-fifty if states share data and carry checks with postal lists, though, it tin be difficult to identify perfect matches and the number of then-chosen duplicate voters may be inflated.
