Congress passed an amendment to the Voting Rights Act in 1970, which prohibited residency requirements that long, in 1970.

Third, Congress mandated that the states had to allow a citizen to vote in a presidential election
if he was registered to vote thirty days before the election took place.

So, maybe a lot older than 28.
