I lived in my home state for 2 months in freshman year and then for 1-2 weeks over winter break. Aside, I stayed in the state where my college was located year-round because I got jobs/internships. I was way more invested in the state where my college was located. I had no idea what was happening back home when it came to local elections.
Just saying.
Then change your license.
What's that, you say? You don't have a permanent address in the state in which your college is located?
Oh.

Yep. Makes perfect sense. But I just love the moronic concern trolls, always trying to fear-monger.
As I read the OP, they are just saying you can't use your college id as proof of residence. So if the student wants to vote in the new state, they go get a state id in the new state. If they want to keep their license from their previous state, they vote absentee in the previous state. This is all entirely reasonable and the way it was when I was doing this 30 years ago. I've never heard of a college id as being valid for something like voting. Perhaps I misunderstood something, but as stated in OP this is not an issue. No one seems to be saying they can't vote in new city - just that they need legal id to do so.
Not everywhere, no. In fact, most states accept college IDs as valid. And this will blow your mind...several states don't have ID laws at all. In fact, unless you were in only a handful of states, the idea that you needed an ID 30 years ago is highly doubtful.

I lived in my college town 11 months out of the year. I was a resident, obviously.
Really? You were paying taxes there? Registering your car there? Please.
No car. I was working in the town year-round.
Were you or were you not a legal, tax-paying resident of that town, or a dependent of your parents? I think we all know the answer.
It really seems like the only question is which state issued one's legal id (drivers license or id card). Of course a college id shouldn't be sufficient to vote.
You are aware that many GOP-controlled states closed down DMVs in counties with a disproportionate number of residents who are POC. Right?

If I have a lease, pay utilities, and live in a city most of the year then I'm a resident and have the right vote there.
You don’t pay taxes there and you’re still supported by bank of Mom & Dad, so no.
An 18 yr old who works in the state is paying taxes to that state, even if they are considered a dependent.
My kid works PT, doesn't make a lot, but they still pay taxes.
The notion that paying taxes in a state entitles you to vote there is . . . misplaced. If you're right, all the commuters who live in NJ and work in NYC can vote for the next Mayor?
Come to think of it, I belong to a partnership that requires me to file and pay personal income tax in 18 states. Can I vote in all of them? Or can I just pick which one I'd like to vote in?
NJ/NY, much like DC/MD/VA have reciprocity agreements for tax.
No one said that they can vote in two places, but that if they are living and paying taxes in the state, then they should be able to vote.
Also, your LLP is filing corporate tax, not personal income tax.

You need better tax advice then. The entire point of an LLC is to get limited liability while avoiding corporate level tax.

None of that is true (and it's hilarious that you think "paying utilities" has any sort of significance.
Renters are allowed to vote, dumbo.
Of course they are - if that's their permanent address. If I rent a place in DC for 2 4 weeks around election day, it doesn't entitle me to vote there. (And again, utilities are utterly irrelevant.)
