Remember, if you’re homeless, you can go ahead and register to vote, you just have to be able to give the Election Board something to go on for district purposes. If you want to receive election mail, you have to give them an address to use, so ask a nearby church if you can receive mail there. The homeless can vote! The homeless should vote!
