We have two homes and due COVID we have spent the majority of 2020 in our second home which is in a neighboring state. We work virtually and kids go to public school virtually. Can I vote in the state of my second home even though my kids attend public school for our other residency. Both houses are paid in full and in high tax town so pay our fair share. Just want a say in the government of our second home as have never had one and this year we spent almost the entire time here.

Check the information available at the government web site below.

You may only register to vote in the state that you consider to be your primary place of legal residence. Visit our Register and Vote in Your State page for links to state election official websites to contact them for further information.

There was a similar question asked which is why I am asking here. I can find the thread if you need to see

Start googling or researching voter registration requirements in the state you are asking about. There are 50 states--you have not told us what state you are domiciled in or what state you now want to vote in. We cannot answer you.
