SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Registration residence requirements; domicile; presumption. Provides that a person who has established a physical presence and a place of abode in Virginia shall be presumed to have established a domicile at that place of abode. The bill also provides there shall be no presumption regarding whether a person is a resident of Virginia based on the person's actual or perceived status as a student or his occupancy in housing commonly occupied by students and that no factor shall be considered to conclude that a student is not domiciled in Virginia if that factor results from his status as a student. The bill requires the State Board of Elections to promulgate instructions to ensure the uniform application of these presumptions. This bill was incorporated into HB 1878.
