AI Summary
This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 116.035, which deals with determining a voter's residence for election purposes. The key change is that a person will now be considered a resident of a city within their county of habitation if they own at least 50% of the real property located within that city's voting precinct. This provision aims to clarify residency for voters who own property in a city but may not physically live there full-time, potentially impacting their eligibility to vote in city elections.
