The proposed law allows voters to register to vote at any residence they maintain a continuous connection with an intent to remain in the state, including second or vacation homes, or homes where students live while attending college or university. Voters can register to vote from these residences, including second or vacation homes, or homes where students live while attending college or university, if they expect to be present in the area for a specific election. The law changes the definition of "residence" to include these alternative locations. The proposed law takes effect immediately.
