City centre bar allows homeless people to use their address so they can vote in General Election

By Martin Booth  Thursday Nov 21, 2019

Homeless people in Bristol are being helped to register to vote by staff at a city centre bar.

To help rough sleepers, workers at Bristol Beer Factory bar at the Arnolfini will print off forms, send them off and let people use their address if necessary.

They will even give them a free hot drink while their register.

“Don’t lose your vote,” the team wrote on Facebook.

“If you know any homeless people that would like to vote but don’t have an address they can use ours.

“Just let them know to pop to the Arnolfini Café Bar. We’ll give them a form and a hot drink.”
