If student's home of record was not Washington, then student would need to establish residency. Student obtained driver's license and voter's registration, but would have been exempt from excise tax due to her military status, I believe. By registering her car in New York upon discharge, she maintained her resident ties to New York. She can't have it both ways. Is vehicle registered in WA now? -----Original Message----- From: JOY FITZPATRICK [mailto:jfitzpat@evcc.ctc.edu] Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 1999 12:12 PM To: Discussion of Residency Issues State Wide Subject: Former military personnel This student was stationed in WA since 1992. She was discharged October, 1999. She has just obtained a new WA driver's license and a new voter's registration card. We also have a copy of her old WA driver's license from 1996 with 'MIL' for expiration date. It doesn't appear that she ever paid WA excise tax for her car registration. She also went back to New York for a short period of time and registered her car there. She maintains that she registered to vote in WA in 1992 when she was in Tacoma and that should make her a WA state resident. She can probably get a proof of that. I am not real clear on this. Do you have to be a WA resident to vote in WA? Does merely voting in WA makes someone a WA resident? Joe, I like your answer to Ruth Schindler and hope you can help me on this one too. And, of course, I welcome any response from all of you out there. Happy Holidays!
