Under New York State’s Election Law, individuals who have two residences can choose one to which they have a legitimate, significant, and continuing attachment as their residence for voting purposes. This means that if you have a summer cottage or home in addition to another residence, you can designate the summer cottage/home as your residence for voting purposes if you have a legitimate, significant, and continuing attachment to that place.
Those with multiple homes need to ask themselves if they have a more significant electoral impact in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Buffalo, … or, in the local town in which their Chautauqua Lake property resides? At the national level, the effect will be pretty equal regardless of where you choose to vote. However, your impact on local elections (state, county, town) could play a substantial role in electing officials and altering policy within one area over the other. You can only register to vote in one local, might your vote have a more substantial influence here?
