U.S. citizens who live overseas and have never resided in Michigan and North Carolina can cast ballots in those states by mail, provided they meet certain requirements, according to separate rulings handed down on Oct. 21.

Citizens can vote in those states even if they’ve never lived there provided they have parents who resided in one of the states before going overseas, according to the rulings. A citizen whose spouse lived in Michigan before leaving the country can also cast ballots, one judge said.
