Registering to Vote Does Not Affect Your:
Federal Financial Aid: Where you register to vote will not affect federal financial aid such as Pell Grants, Perkins or Stafford loans, or your dependency status for FAFSA.
Status as a Dependent on Your Parents’ Taxes: Being registered to vote at a different address from your parents does not prevent them from claiming you as a dependent on their taxes.
Tuition Status: Being deemed out-of-state for tuition purposes does not prevent you from choosing to register to vote in your campus community.
Driver’s license or car registration: Registering to vote does not affect driver’s license or car registration, but individuals are required to obtain a North Carolina driver’s license within 60 days of establishing residency in the state. For more information, students may wish to contact the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles.
