one
bona fide residence in the State,you may choose one to which

have a legitimate,significant,and continuing attachment as the
place

A
residence is not merely a home that you own (such as one
held
out for rent),but one that you occupy on a regular basis and to
which
you intend to return when you are elsewhere.Many people
who
own a home in East Hampton that they occupy periodically
would
qualify under this standard and,if registered elsewhere in
the
State (or if not registered to vote),can re-register and vote in

Hampton,either in person or by absentee ballot,in the

registration
form,click on “Register

The
deadline is October 10, so register to vote today!
Footnote
If
you live in a rent-stabilized or controlled apartment in the City of New
York,it is
recommended
that you maintain New York City as your place of voter registration.While
place
of
voter registration,by itself,may not conclusively answer the question whether
you are entitled
to
the benefits of the New York City rent-control and stabilization laws,it
is better not to create
an
opportunity for a landlord to raise question s about your status.
