Students have a decision about where to register to vote.
You have a right to register to vote at the address you consider the place where you live, whether that is your family’s home or the place where you attend school. You should update your registration anytime this home address changes.
You may only be registered and vote in one location.
Online Registration: To register to vote online, you must have a valid Arizona driver’s license and/or an Arizona non-operating ID card issued by the Motor Vehicle Division reflecting your current status as a U.S. citizen. Please see the link above for Arizona’s online voter registration portal.
Paper Registration: Arizona has a proof of citizenship requirement for registering to vote in state and local elections and to use the state voter registration form. Applicants who do not provide documentary proof of citizenship with their Arizona state-specific voter registration form will be rejected. Providing an Arizona driver’s license or state ID number issued after October 1, 1996, on either the state or federal voter registration form, fulfills the proof of citizenship requirement as long as the state finds the applicant’s record. You do not need to provide anything more, unless your license or state identification card was issued to you before you became a U.S. citizen.
If you don’t have an Arizona driver’s license or state ID issued after October 1, 1996, reflecting your current status as a U.S. citizen, you will need to provide other documentary proof of citizenship to vote in state and local elections. Proof of citizenship includes any one of the items listed below:
If you do not have documentary proof of citizenship, they can still use the federal voter registration form to register to vote for President, Vice President, and Congress. To vote in state and local elections, the voter must follow-up with their county recorder to provide documentary proof of citizenship by 5:00pm on the Thursday before election day.
Arizona also has a proof of residency requirement for registering to vote in state and local elections. A new registrant must be a resident of Arizona for at least 29 days before the next election. Providing an Arizona driver’s license or state ID number issued after October 1, 1996, on either the state or federal voter registration form, will satisfy the proof of residency requirement. The address on the AZ-issued ID does not need to match the address the voter put on the registration form.
If the applicant does not have an Arizona driver’s license or state ID issued after October 1, 1996, they will need to provide other documentary proof of residence. Proof of residency includes any form of ID listed below. Any tribal ID satisfies the proof of residency requirement even if there is no photo, address, or P.O. box.
Voters may present: (1) one form of ID which bears the name, address, and photo of the voter as they appear in the voter’s record (including voter registration card, bank or credit union statement, utility bill, AZ vehicle registration or vehicle insurance card, property tax statement, any mailing that is labeled as “official election material,” or recorder’s certificate) (List 1); (2) two forms of non–photo ID which bear the name and address of the voter as they appear on the voter’s record (List 2); or (3) two forms of ID comprised of (a) a List 1 photo ID with a non–matching address plus a List 2 non-photo ID with a matching address, or (b) a U.S. passport or military ID without any address plus a List 2 non–photo ID with a matching address (List 3).

All voters must present ID at the polls. Voters have 3 options: they may present (1) one form of ID which bears the name, address, and photo of the voter as they appear in the voter’s record (List 1); (2) two forms of non–photo ID which bear the name and address of the voter as they appear on the voter’s record (List 2); or (3) two forms of ID comprised of a List 1 photo ID with a non–matching address plus a List 2 non-photo ID with a matching address, or a U.S. passport or military ID without any address plus a List 2 non–photo ID with a matching address (List 3).
College or university IDs that lack addresses cannot be used as voter ID, even if the voter has a separate document that shows their address. Members of federally recognized tribes are not required to have an address or photo on their tribal identification in order to cast a provisional ballot.

Does Registering to Vote Affect My Federal Financial Aid?

No. Being registered to vote at a different address from your parents does not prevent them from claiming you as a dependent on their taxes.
