Australia is the opposite extreme- not only do homeless folk have the right to vote, but they- like every other voting age citizen- is required to vote by law.

Can't say I'm sold on either system. Voting rights should not be attached to your financial status or current home situation, rather by your citizenship. But then neither should you be compelled to vote if you don't want to imo- the lazy or apathetic have their rights too.
