The Unhoused Voter Opportunity Through Elections Act aims to remove barriers for unhoused individuals to register and vote in federal elections.

The Unhoused Voter Opportunity Through Elections Act seeks to ensure that unhoused individuals can register and vote in federal elections without facing additional barriers. It prohibits states and political subdivisions from denying or abridging the right to vote based on nontraditional residences. The act mandates that states consider unsheltered street locations and homeless shelters as valid addresses for voting purposes. It also requires states to notify homeless shelters and other service providers about voter registration deadlines.
