But I suppose its necessary to have legal residency in some state for issues like voting and which state your drivers license would be from. Also if the state is going to notify you of some requirement it has to know where to contact you. In general I think there should be less government requirements but if you are called for jury duty, or (if you where a young man) drafted, or served with a notice or subpoena that state would have to have some way of contacting you. I suppose in theory you could simply decide not to vote and to take your chances on running afoul of the law but not responding to its demands (which you never received) but that's not a very practical solution. If however someone did choose that solution I don't think there should be any legal penalties directly for it. In other words if you had some sort of government order or notice and you didn't respond because you didn't get the message you could get in trouble for not responding but you shouldn't get punished expressly for not having a permanent address.
