In order to vote, you have to register. But folks who are homeless may not have a permanent address. So what do you do? You can use the address of a shelter, hostel or similar place that provides food, lodging or other social services.
When you vote you also need to show ID, which can be a challenge for homeless people. If you don't have any physical ID, you can declare your identity and address in writing and have someone you know vouch for you.
The voucher must be:
- a registered voter resident in the riding you want to vote in, OR
- a spouse, parent, grandparent, adult child, adult grandchild or adult sibling of the voter, OR
- a person with the authority to make personal care decisions for the voter
