The basic upshot is that the appeals court deemed the Board and the Circuit Court to have confused the legal principles of "domicile" and "residence:"

...it is elemental that domicile and residence are not synonymous." Pope v. Board of Election Commissioners, 370 Ill. 196, 202, 18 N.E.2d 214 (1938). As the supreme court further explained in Pope, the legal concept of "residence" requires a permanent abode.
