Chapter 3 — Registering To Vote

3.E. Documentation Needed To Register To Vote

3.E.3. Homeless or Unhoused Voters.

A homeless or unhoused person has the same requirements for providing identification as any other person registering to vote in regard to identification proving identity (examples being: Driver's License, State ID, Social Security card, etc.).

BUT instead of showing proof of a current address, the homeless or unhouse person must provide proof of a mailing address.

This proof of a mailing address can consist of but is not limited to:

  • a. Mail or a postmarked envelope sent to the person at the address.
  • b. A form or correspondence (government correspondence is always a good choice) with the person's mailing address printed on it.
  • c. Permission by the owner or representative of the mailing address allowing use of the address.

There is no time requirement for the mailing address as there is for a resident's current address, so an envelope postmarked earlier than thirty (30) days before an election or a government letter dated more than thirty (30) days before Election Day is still acceptable.
