You Don't Need a Home to Vote
Posted November 01, 2008 at 1:53 AM

There are close to 1,000 homeless youth in Seattle every night. They sleep in cars, abandoned buildings, under bridges and on friend’s couches. But without a place to live, where do these young people vote and how do they register? In all fifty states some sort of address is required to register to vote.
See how programs like YouthCare and The National Network for Youth are getting homeless youth involved in the political process and proving you don’t need a home to vote.
