Local shelters work to help the homeless vote
The Secretary of State’s Office in May identified more than 6,000 voters in Lucas County as “inactive,” but more than 100 of those individuals were registered with addresses of homeless shelters or rehabilitation facilities. That leads to an important question: How accessible is voting for the area’s homeless population? “Voting for those facing housing insecurity is absolutely a huge problem,” said Jen Miller, the executive director for the League of Women Voters of Ohio.
