Bill > S2971

This bill, the Unhoused VOTE Act, aims to remove barriers to the ability of unhoused individuals to register to vote and vote in elections for federal office. It defines "nontraditional abodes" that would qualify as residences for voting purposes, requires states to accept certain documentation for voter registration and identification, mandates outreach and accessibility measures for unhoused voters, and establishes a grant program to support initiatives that increase voting access for unhoused individuals. The bill also amends existing laws to designate homeless shelters as voter registration agencies and allow unhoused applicants to use unsheltered street locations as their address for voter registration.
