Our Homes, Our Votes Act

The Our Homes, Our Votes Act requires landlords and public housing agencies managing federally assisted housing (including public housing, Section 8, and supportive housing programs) to include voter registration forms in lease agreements. When tenants sign their lease, it automatically serves as a voter registration application for federal elections, unless they opt out. Landlords must ensure forms include basic eligibility information, provide language access for limited-English speakers, and submit completed forms to election officials within 10 days. This applies to all tenants in covered housing units, streamlining registration without requiring separate action.
