Super Tuesday, March 5, is right around the corner and on Thursday residents at Higher Ground Catholic Charities got an opportunity to vote a few days early.
Why here? Why today?
"Voters who are experiencing homelessness or are in this housing transition, oftentimes may not have a permanent address and then they have difficulty proving the residency requirement," says Jon Martin with Minneapolis Elections and Voter Services.
As long as someone can vouch for each person they're allowed to vote. Having the chance to have their voice heard is important says resident Sandra Johnson.
"I'm voting not only for the people here at Evergreen, Glenwood and Higher Ground, I'm voting for the generations past that didn't get a chance to vote," says Johnson.
It's also a means to target communities who are under-served.
"The facility staff can vouch for the residents here and it can be at a physical address and they can also be, like if the voter says that I live at this intersection and someone knows that, that the facility staff can vouch for them," Martin tells WCCO Radio.
Organizers say the turnout was positive, once again, proving Minnesotans love to vote no matter the circumstances.
