Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he cannot vote because he is homeless, according to reporting from Yahoo UK and The Independent. Both outlets describe his claim that a New York court ruling leaves him without a lawful residential address for voting purposes.
The Independent adds context that Kennedy points to a 2024 decision by a New York judge, which he says results in “no legal residence.” Yahoo UK similarly frames his argument around homelessness and voter eligibility, focusing on his assertion that the ruling affects his ability to participate in an election.
The two sources align on the core elements: Kennedy makes a public claim that homelessness and a specific New York ruling have created a problem with voting eligibility. Neither outlet, in the provided excerpts, details responses from election officials, the exact language of the ruling, or whether any remedy or alternative process is available.
