Sandra Abdoulaye wants to cast a vote in this year’s presidential election but wasn’t sure she was eligible to register, because she is homeless.

On Friday, volunteers at the resource center run by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless asked the 60-year-old a few questions, and soon, Abdoulaye was filling out the one-page form to register to vote, listing a shelter for both her home and her mailing address so the state can send her a ballot.

“It was fast and easy,” Abdoulaye said. “I don’t know why anyone would refuse.”

This year, some organizations and the Secretary of State’s office are targeting voter registration efforts at people who are homeless. In Colorado, voters have long been able to use any location — a shelter or a park — as a home address, as long as they also list a mailing address where they can receive ballots. Having an identification card isn’t a requirement to register.

The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless partnered this year with the National Coalition for the Homeless, committing to a goal of registering 100 new voters.

“It’s important for them to be able to have the opportunity to be engaged,” said Cathy Alderman, vice president of communications and public policy for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. “I believe there really is nothing more powerful than the opportunity to vote and be part of solutions.”

Denver shelters already have a number of voters registered at their addresses, according to numbers from the Secretary of State. There are 1,499 active registered voters just at the St. Francis Center.

Andrew Spinks, development director at the St. Francis Center, said the shelter’s staff hasn’t had voter registration efforts recently, he but believes many of those voters may have registered while getting an identification at the Department of Motor Vehicles or in registration drives of past years.

In Aurora shelters, voter registration numbers are lower — less than 20 active registered voters at two shelters, according to recent numbers — so the Secretary of State partnered with organizations and hosted a drive Tuesday to register more homeless people to vote. By noon, organizers had registered 13 new voters.

But other challenges to participate in the election process remain, advocates say.

In Colorado, those going to vote in person have to present a form of identification. The list of acceptable documents is long — 17 possible documents — but some people have none, or don’t know all their options. For others, there are challenges in getting to a polling place. Alderman said the coalition asked about hosting a polling center but was told there were already enough nearby.

One local organization, Metro Caring, got recent funding to expand statewide a program helping the homeless obtain identification documents. The organization surveys all clients about why they are seeking identification documents. Ten percent of the people who went through Metro Caring in the 2015-16 fiscal year, or 815, reported they wanted their documents to be able to vote.

Abdoulaye doesn’t have identification documents and hasn’t tried recently to get them because she was unsuccessful so many times before, she said. When she registered to vote Friday, volunteers directed her to Metro Caring.

Some say the biggest challenge is misinformation about how to register and their eligibility if they have criminal convictions or lack any identification. After that it’s about engaging people.

Tristzette Morton, one of the coalition staff members who volunteered helping register people to vote Friday, said she had encountered one woman who said she didn’t believe her vote mattered. Abdoulaye, on the other hand, was motivated to vote because of the presidential election.

“People who have traditionally been left behind by the system feel a little more weary and feel like they don’t have a voice,” Alderman said. “Just encouraging people is kind of a first step.”

Following are the requirements for registering to vote in Colorado, including the list of usable identification that the state will accept.
