Question 931: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if citizens who are homeless are entitled to be registered as electors; if an address at civic offices can be provided as an accommodation address for the purpose; if not, the way the constitutional entitlements of homeless citizens in relation to the franchise are vindicated; if he has proposals to amend the law in this area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In law, the preparation of the Register of Electors, including the determination of a person's ordinary residence for registration purposes, is a matter for each local registration authority. I have no proposals to amend the law in this area.
