merely; nor shall he or she obtain a residence by being in a county or precinct
for such temporary purposes, without the intention of making that county or
precinct his or her home;
(3) A voter shall lose his or her residence by removal to another state or county
with intention to make his or her permanent residence there, or by removal to

or by voting there, even though he or she may have had the intention to return
to this state at some future period;
(4) The place where the family of a married person resides shall generally be
considered his or her residence, unless the family so resides for a temporary
purpose. If his family is permanently in one (1) place, and he or she transacts
