Homeless individuals: voter registration, driver's licenses, and identification cards.

Existing law requires a county elections official to, among other things, provide certain voter registration cards in sufficient quantities to any individuals or organizations that wish to distribute the cards, except as specified. Existing law requires the individuals and organizations distributing those voter registration cards who receive completed voter registration cards to return the completed cards to the county elections official or deposit those cards in the postal service within 3 days of receipt from a voter. This bill would require a homeless shelter that registers a person to vote to keep a record of the person it has registered to vote, including certain information about the person, and to transmit that information to certain government entities at least once per year. Existing law requires each driver's license issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles to include, among other things, the licensee's mailing address. Existing law requires an identification card issued by the department to resemble in appearance, so far as is practicable, a driver's license issued by the department. This bill would authorize an applicant who is a homeless individual to list the shelter, public space, cross street, or post office where he or she is living as his or her address on a driver's license or identification card.
