PATHS has partnered with Community Health Vote to provide non-partisan voter registration as one of the services we provide to our patients on an ongoing basis. Nationwide, Community Health Centers like PATHS provide a health care home for over 22 million people. We've found that many of our patients are eligible to vote but not registered or have registrations that need to be updated in order for them to be able to cast a ballot.  By making voter registration readily accessible and convenient for our patients, we hope to offer a pathway for patients to become more informed and civically engaged.

How do people experiencing homelessness register and vote?

A homeless person can register to vote if they intend to remain in a locality indefinitely and provides an address of the primary place where they stay at night. A mailing address is required to ensure that the voter will receive their registration card and to avoid cancellation of voting eligibility due to returned mail. Some homeless shelters allow people to have their voter registration cards mailed to the shelter address. By providing this service, the homeless person is able to pick up his/her card from the shelter address.
