Appeals Court Invalidates State Vote Residency Law
NYS Ct of Appeals unanimously declares on June 7 that state's 90âday residency law is unconst and that a 30âday residency requirement gives election officials adequate time to determine instances of possible voter fraud; also upholds section of state election law designed to prevent students from registering to vote in towns where their colleges are located; says that merits of cases involving students seeking to register in college towns must be considered on an individual basis; decision will not effect June 20 primary, but will have some impact on Nov elections
