As it was explained to me everyone has a right to vote. If you are of no 
fixed abode but you have some sort of "attachment" to an address, e.g. 
where your post goes, you can apply to the council to be registered 
there. This is what my wife and I did and we are registered, quite 
legally, at our daughter's address.

Sadly, suffering from to many birthdays, I cannot remember to fully the 
details but a phone call to the Electoral Registration Department of 
your council of choice should put you in the picture. There may be other 
benefits.
