Four students at the College of William & Mary seeking to run for city council may be kept off the ballot because of voter registration rules.
None of the four students is registered to vote in Williamsburg, according to Williamsburg's Assistant Voter Registrar Dave Andrews, as reported by the Associated Press.
The Code of Virginia says that in order for an individual to be considered a "resident," he or she must have domicile in Virginia and in the precinct in which he or she wishes to vote.
The State Board of Elections gives localities the authority to determine residency.
"We do allow U.Va. residency addresses," Charlottesville Deputy Registar Lori Krizek said.
A student is allowed to register to vote in Charlottesville if he or she claims a dorm address as his or her residency, Krizek said.
