Homeless Voters and Those Wishing Confidentiality

Voting When Homeless
Homeless U.S. Citizens Have a Right to Vote
Voters must provide a residence address
on the voter registration form, but this
address may be any definable
location in the county that describes their physical location. This could
be a shelter, park, motor home, or other identifiable location. The mailing
address of a person who is homeless or who resides where mail service is
unavailable can
be the
office of the
county clerk.
Voters can pick up their ballot
at
the county elections office.
Voting If Concerned for Personal Safety
Some may not want to register to vote because they don't
feel safe disclosing
their home address.
Under certain circumstances, a
voter
can
register and vote
while maintaining their
privacy. To maintain privacy, complete the exemption form:
Application to Exempt Residence Address from Disclosure. Return it to your
county elections office,
or ask a
county elections official for more
information.
