There are many people who do not have a stable address, something which is needed to apply for and receive an ID.

Why should those citizens be deprived their right to vote?

An address determines which district you are eligible to vote in. The citizen still has a right to vote but where is a legitimate question because it determines which ballot they receive.

Address verification is orthogonal to identity verification.
