State ex rel Kristof v. Fagan

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court held that the phrase “resident within” in Article V, section 2 of the Oregon Constitution means domicile, that the Secretary of State was not required to find the relator domiciled in Oregon during the relevant three‑year period, and that the relator’s Equal Protection challenge was not properly before the mandamus court. Accordingly, the alternative writ of mandamus was dismissed and the petition denied.
