By SovConn | July 26, 2014

durational-residency  requirement.The  requirement  that  one  be  a  state  resident  for  a  certain

time, such as one year, as a precondition to the exercise of a specified right or privilege. • When

applied  to  voting,  this  requirement  has  been  held  to  be  an  unconstitutional  denial  of  equal

protection because it burdens voting rights and impairs the fundamental personal right of travel. [Blacks Law 8th]
