Let $\Omega$ be a domain in ${{\mathbb{R}}^{n}}\,(n\,\ge \,2).$ We find a necessary and sufficient topological condition on $\Omega$ such that, for any measure $ $ on ${{\mathbb{R}}^{n}}$ , there is a function $u$ with specified boundary conditions that satisfies the Poisson equation $\Delta u\,=\,\mu$ on $\Omega$ in the sense of distributions.
