Harvard University Housing is separate from the grad dorms and undergrad house system. They rent out apartments to graduate students. A map of their properties can be found here
Every Harvard Housing property in Cambridge is the 25th Middlesex State House District.

Harvard Undergraduate Total turnout#
Because the harvard undegraduate population nearly entirely lives in the house system we can assess the turnout of Harvard Undergraduates as a whole based on the enrollment numbers available from the Harvard Factbook.
Unfortunately the breakdown of international or US citizen is currently only available for 2022/2023. But based on some very cursory googling it seem that each year has 10-15% international enrollment. So for the following analysis we will assume 12.5% international undergraduates at Harvard.
The big takeaway here is that Harvard Undergraduates have barely voted in any state level primaries over the past decade.

TODO
This should be possible to calculate using the information from https://registrar.mit.edu/statistics-reports/enrollment-statistics-year# But has yet to be implemented here.
Lesley#
We cannot calculate total turnout of Lesley students as not all students live on campus (78% of first years per https://lesley.edu/life-at-lesley/campus-life/housing). So we cannot calculate the correct percentage of international students who live in the dorms.
