durational-residency requirement

Read a random definition: lex domicilii

A quick definition of durational-residency requirement:

A durational-residency requirement is when someone has to live in a certain place for a certain amount of time before they can do something, like vote. This has been found to be unfair because it can stop people from being able to exercise their right to vote and travel freely.

A more thorough explanation:

A durational-residency requirement is a rule that requires a person to be a resident of a particular state for a specific period before they can exercise a particular right or privilege. For example, some states require that a person must live in the state for at least one year before they can receive in-state tuition rates at a public university.

However, when this requirement is applied to voting, it has been found to be unconstitutional. This is because it places an unfair burden on a person's right to vote and their fundamental right to travel.

For instance, if a state requires that a person must live in the state for two years before they can vote in a state election, this would be considered unconstitutional. This is because it would prevent people who have recently moved to the state from being able to vote, even though they may have a legitimate interest in the outcome of the election.

Overall, durational-residency requirements can be used to restrict certain rights and privileges, but they must be carefully evaluated to ensure that they do not violate a person's constitutional rights.
