OFFICIAL COMMENT
This section specifies the address of the last place of residence as the address to be used as the voter registration address, and instructs election officials to assign an administratively convenient address to a voter who has no last place of residence in the state. When election officials must assign a voter a non-standard address, where possible they should place the voter in the same precinct or district as the last place of residence, were it still a recognized residential address.
