Registering to vote on campus safe for students in Madison

UW-Madison students can register to vote at their campus addresses without facing consequences for registering in locations away from their hometowns, despite recent controversy over the issue in other states.

Virginia Tech students were discouraged from registering to vote when local election officials issued two statements last month incorrectly warning them against registering at their college residencies, according to The New York Times.
