The place in which a voter's habitation is fixed, wherein the person has the intention of remaining, and to which, whenever they are absent, the person has the intention of returning. Persons experiencing homelessness can register and vote, as long as they can describe the physical location where they sleep at night. At a given time, a person may have only one voting residence.
