    “We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry,” he wrote.

    In a follow-up post, he added, “Have I mentioned my repeated call for civic education.”

    Ehh…you could establish a residence in New York City and also in Kentucky and switch your domicile back and forth based on which place you want to vote in a given year.

    EDIT: It looks like the bar for both is whether you spend at least 183 days a year, with part days counting. So technically, if you spend about half the year in each place, so some of those days are partly in each, you probably could just choose, since you could meet the bar for domicile in both places concurrently (though you can’t actually have domicile in both places simultaneously). I don’t know how frequently you can switch, though, like whether there’s a delay in voter registration taking effect or whatever.
