This information is taken from the Mississippi Code of 1972 as amended in 1997. It has to do with being elegibile to vote in the State of Mississippi.
"Section: 23-15-11 Elegibility
Every inhabitant of this state, except idiots and insane persons, who is a citizen of the United States of America, eighteen (18) years old and upwards, who has resided in this state for thirty (30)days and for thirty (30) days in the county in which he offers to vote, and for thirty (30) days in the supervisor's district or in the incorporated city or town in which he offers to vote and who shall have been duly registered as an elector by an officer of this state under the laws thereof, and who has never been convicted of any crime listed in Section 241, Mississippi Constitution of 1890 shall be a qualified elector in and for the county, municipality and voting precinct of his residence, and shall be entitled to vote at an election. (1997 amendment: 'Any person who will be eighteen (18) years of age or older on or before the date of the general election and who is duly registered to vote not less then thirty (30) days prior to the primary election associated with such general elcetion, may vote in such primary election even though such person has not reached his or her eighteenth birthday at the time such person offers to vote at such primary election.' No others than those above included shall be entitled, or shall be allowed, to vote at any election."
"Reside". There is that word again.
