12. Florida law: Legal residence - Homeless.

Legal residence - Homeless. It is against Florida and federal laws to discriminate against a homeless person. The voter registration laws cannot be applied in a manner to deny such person the right to register to vote. Therefore, a person who is homeless or without a permanent ‘traditional’ home but intends to remain permanently in the locale can register using an address for:

1) place where he or she regularly receives messages,
2) the church if it agrees to accept mail or messages on the person’s behalf,
3) the shelter or other local that a person frequents and could be reached,
4) the specific post office for general delivery. It may even be a specific street corner, park bench, vacant lot, etc., to where the person frequently rests or returns and intends to serve as the “home-base”.

The point is to be able to locate and assign a precinct to correspond with that location
