I'm seeing one hell of a lot of ignorance here, and I don't get why it's present.

You want to vote locally, you damned well register to vote locally, giving your local address. You eventually go away, you register again, somewhere else.

At college age, this doesn't come up a frightful lot, as the 18-23 year olds aren't thrilled with doing wide-world politics, finding it tedious or variously discomforting. Generally, it takes ten years more or even longer to take an interest.
