You may indeed be a citizen of the US without being a citizen of a State ... All this means is that you may NOT vote. You must satisfy a states residency requirements in order to register.
Here are the Ohio requirements. Does everyone who wants to vote in Ohio have to be registered to vote here? Yes. What are the qualifications to register and to vote in Ohio? You are qualified to register to vote in Ohio if you meet all the following requirements: 1. You are a citizen of the United States; 2. You will be at least 18 years old on or before the day of the general election. (If you will be 18 on or before November 2, you may vote in the primary election for candidates, but you cannot vote on issues until you are 18); 3. You will be a resident of Ohio for at least 30 consecutive days immediately before the election in which you want to vote; 4. You are not incarcerated (in prison or jail) for a felony conviction under the laws of this state, another state or the United States; 5. You have not been declared incompetent for voting purposes by a probate court; and 6. You have not been permanently disenfranchised for violations of the election laws. You are eligible to vote in elections held in your voting precinct more than 30 consecutive days after you are duly registered to vote in this state; however, you may request an absentee ballot during that period. Here is Wyoming: As you can see they are similar but different. *In order to register to vote, you must meet the following qualifications:* - 18 years of age on Election Day; - U.S. Citizen; - Resident of Wyoming and the precinct in which you register; - Withdraw voter registration from any other jurisdiction, if applicable; - Present a valid Wyoming Driver License if you have one and if not; provide the last four digits of your Social Security Number. (If you have neither, please indicate this on the Voter Registration Application form.) - Not been convicted of a felony, or if convicted, has had civil or voting rights restored. - Nor adjudicated mentally incompetent.
