WASHINGTON President Donald Trump may be violating his agreement with Palm Beach, Florida, by claiming his resort there as his home , but that does not affect his ability to claim it as his legal residence for voting purposes, the countys top elections official said Monday.

In 1993, Trump agreed that if Palm Beach let him convert Mar-a-Lago from a private estate to a social club, no member, including himself, would be permitted to stay at the property more than 21 days a year and no more than seven days at a time.

Last year, nevertheless, he registered to vote in Florida using Mar-a-Lago as the address where you live, and, in fact, cast a mail-in ballot from there in the March presidential primary.

His apparent reneging on his promise, though, does not affect his registration, according to Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Wendy Sartory Link. That is between him and the town of Palm Beach, she said.
