durational-residency requirement

The requirement that one be a state resident for a certain time, such as one year, as a precondition to the exercise of a specified right or privilege. 9 When applied to voting, this requirement has been held to be an unconstitutional denial of equal protection because it burdens voting rights and impairs the fundamental personal right of travel.
