Why can't a homeless person run for office?

ADVERTISEMENTS
A homeless man is running for a seat on the board of a suburban Chicago village.

Daniel Fore filed nominating petitions to have his name placed on the ballot for village trustee in the April 7 election. The petitions indicate he is homeless.

But two Oak Park residents have filed objections, claiming a person without a fixed address cannot run for office or register to vote.

Attorneys representing Fore said a homeless person can legally register to vote and can circulate nominating petitions. They also said the objections to Fore's candidacy are incomplete and invalid.

Read the Chicago Tribune report here.
