§ 2022 Voter Domicile Loss Rules

This law says that if you move to a new state and plan to make it your permanent home, you no longer consider your old state as your legal home for voting purposes.

Key Takeaways

•Moving with intent to make a new state your permanent home ends your domicile in the old state.
•Domicile is tied to where you plan to live permanently, not just where you temporarily stay.
•This affects where you are eligible to register and vote.

Example

Jane lives in State A but moves to State B to work there and says she will stay there forever. After moving, she is no longer considered a resident of State A for voting.

Because Jane intended to make State B her domicile, the law treats her as having lost her domicile in State A, so she cannot vote in State A elections.
