It seems like half the cardholders I talk to, when I have reason to ask if

Posted by mara Nov 4 '14, 11:11

the address in their record is correct, say it's changed. Which might be a reason people aren't voting.

I think in 2016 I'm going to tell people to update their voter registration whenever they tell me their address has changed.

Honestly, people should, by default, be registered to vote. - TWuG Nov 4, 11:14 10
- you're asking for a level of competence that is far beyond our current government -- nm - decline Nov 4, 11:44

  - Yep, though did you know there are a lot of people - typically activists - who disagree that there should be a "permanent list" like that? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 11:40 1
    - It's good as a first step, then we can fill in the holes after. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 11:46

  - Yeah, I definitely did not do anything when I moved regarding my voter registration. I just got a new card mailed to me at the next election. - pmb Nov 4, 11:37 1
    - our list is generated by MPAC - which means if you own property you are automatically there, plus you can add yourself many other ways. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 11:38
  - I didn't think this was automatic? -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 11:20
  - I think if you are actively registered that can happen. But it might be state dependent. -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 11:20
