Absentee voting deadline applications is also coming soon. Go to the website. Look at the upper right sidebar. I'd be surprised if FReepers weren't registered, but you might know family and friends who are not.

What does one need to register to vote? I’m essentially homeless, living with relatives, so don’t have utility bills, etc.

Check that link. Call the local county board of elections or state agency that may accept voter registrations. Maybe you need a notarized statement from your relative or an absentee ballot. Good luck!
