(Students who are also members of the armed forces may vote as absentees from all 50 states by requesting the proper form from their officers.) Laws Differ However, the regulations for absentee voters and the require ments for registration differ widely from state to state and often from county to county. For example, in some states you will have to pay a poll tax in order to qualify as a voter. And in all states except Alaska, Ar kansas, North Dakota, and Texas, you must register before you can vote. You probably have done so al ready. But if not, and if you cannot get home to do so, Acre are 20- odd states which do permit registra tion by mail. The deadlines vary and some have already expired. Write For Information As an absentee registrant or voter, the quickest way for you to find out where to write in your state and what information to include is to consult a nationwide manual on vot ing procedures. Both major parties have prepared summaries of voting laws in each state. You could consult your local party headquarters or you may write for a manual to either the Voters Service Bureau of the Demo cratic National Committee, 1001 Connecticut Avenue N.
