No. You have to vote in the state where your primary residence is located.

Nice try! No, but they'll be happy to take your taxes in both states!

NO...you may own 2 houses but you only actually live in 1 & visit the other. You vote in the state where the house you live in is located. The other home is NOT considered a residential location, so you cannot vote there!!!

Actually...I'm pretty sure that depends on WHAT you are voting for. For example: you definitely can't vote for Federal officials in both states - because that would give you two votes. But what about - say - city mayor in both states? I'm pretty sure that there aren't laws against that (but I could be wrong...) I would expect that state officials might also be vote-able...but also, that it might depend on state and local laws.

You can vote in both states for local elections only but only in the state you live in for national elections such as for members of the two houses and the president. For state offices you can vote in both states for governor.
