Oh this little gem too poobah...
"The residence of an unmarried person sleeping in one ward and boarding in another is the place where the person sleeps"
Sleep in Illinois for the summer. Not a Wisconsin resident.... Not a Wisconsin resident. No absentee ballot for Wisconsin election. It's that simple. Going to school in Wisconsin? Probably been sleeping in Wisconsin for at least 28 days. TEMPORARY Wisconsin resident. Feel free to vote in the election. Still no absentee ballot for you. Political Science 101

Hey poobah, check out the part about parent's residency in the very same part I posted. Also the part about having residency for at least 28 days. If a college student is living at home with their parents their voting rights are limited to the state their parents live in. If a college student happens to be sitting in their parents house in Illinois, they vote in Illinois as long as they are living in their parents house. Doesn't mean they won't be able to vote in November, just that they can't in June. When they don't have residency in the state in for at least 28 days. I'll have been in Oshkosh for 61 days when November 6th rolls around. I'll be voting in Oshkosh. This time I'm voting in Janesville. I'm at my parent's house, that's where my residency currently is and will be next Tuesday. In November it will be in Oshkosh, I'll have been there for more than 28 days.

The residence of an unmarried person sleeping in one ward and boarding in another is the place where the person sleeps. The residence of an unmarried person in a transient vocation, a teacher or a student who boards at different places for part of the week, month, or year, if one of the places is the residence of the person's parents, is the place of the parents' residence unless through registration or similar act the person elects to establish a residence elsewhere. If the person has no parents and if the person has not registered elsewhere, the person's residence shall be at the place that the person considered his or her residence in preference to any other for at least 28 consecutive days before an election. If this place is within the municipality, the person is entitled to all the privileges and subject to all the duties of other citizens having their residence there, including voting... (pulled straight from your little link)
The reason out of state college students can and have the right (there's a difference poobah, thanks for pointing out the difference in your reply to me)to vote in elections held in November (or any time of the year that isn't summmer) is because they are living at a fixed address for more than 28 days, whether that be a dorm room or off campus, NOT because they are students at a school in Wisconsin. Take a few more Poli Sci classes to catch up to me and maybe you'll understand how to read legislation and Constitutions too :)

Interestingly enough poobah, no where in your link does it say that out of state college students have the right to vote as nothing establishes residency for them in the state. Only that a Wisconsin student who goes to school out of state has the right to vote in Wisconsin, which is not the issue here since the vast majority of us college students are on summer vacation. Good try though.

@Mouse, why should an out of state college student be allowed to vote in a Wisconsin election? They pay no state taxes. An in-state student doesn't need an absentee ballot, they can vote in their hometown that is mostly likely their permanent address anyway. Way to think that comment through.

For the love of God or whatever you believe in Poobah, there is a difference between being able to vote and having the right to an absentee ballot. If you read statue 7 of the same voting law you would find that you must be a permanent Wisconsin resident to have the right to absentee ballots. If you're paying out of state tuition you aren't a permanent Wisconsin resident. They go hand in hand.
