Vote. You live there during the election and therefore are entitled to vote. Besides, plans fall through. What if you end up not moving. Life can change quickly.
Yes, VOTE. I have moved across state lines a few times in the last years, and I never missed an election. Moving should have nothing to do with it. Even if you are leaving a place, your experience with the situation there will inform your vote, and you should use that knowledge to vote intelligently. Forget your neighbor. She may have an ulterior motive.
my husband and i recently found out that we will be moving out of state by the end of the year/early 2019 (start date for new job not set yet) when discussing our plans to move with a neighbor, we started to talk about the mid-term elections coming up in november, and she mentioned that it would be inappropriate for me to still vote, since the elections will impact the state and we won't be living here much after the voting ends.
I still feel like i'm entitled to vote, since i won't be able to vote in my new state until after the move is completed and i have an address, but at the same time i can understand my neighbors opinion. Especially for city/county votes that won't have any major national impact, is it still appropriate for me to vote?

Moving does not negate your right to vote. If, at mid-terms, you still live where you live, then you vote. Who cares what your neighbor thinks about that.

You are entitled to vote. Vote and don't worry about it.

If you are registered to vote in the state, you have every right to do so. One doesn't cast one's vote based on future relocation plans. Your neighbor is flat-out wrong.
