B. For purposes of subsection A of this section, a person who does not reside at a
fixed, permanent or private structure shall be properly registered to vote if that person

of the following places located in this state:

1. A homeless shelter to which the registrant regularly returns.

2. The place at which the registrant is a resident.

3. The county courthouse in the county in which the registrant resides.

4. A general delivery address for a post office covering the location where the
registrant is a resident.

C. A person who is otherwise qualified to register to vote shall not be refused
registration or declared not qualified to vote because the person does not live in a

D. As used in this section, "homeless shelter" means a supervised publicly or
privately operated shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodations to
individuals who lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence.
