With all the news about citizens discovering their voter status has been lapsed, and new rules for being a voter, everyone should check.

But also, sometimes you forget. I have new neighbors who finished moving a month ago, and when I asked if they changed their mailing address and checked their voting status, we discovered they weren’t.

This is the kind of election post that’s necessary.

I hate seeing “Remeber to go vote!” posts the week before an election as if that’s all you need to do. In most places, you need some kind of enrollment activity before they let you vote on the day, bring ID, etc etc.

I commend vote.org for doing everything they can to get people registered, especially in areas where one side does everything possible to make the voting process as difficult as functionally possible…

…but be warned you will be drowning in emails from vote.org.

Doesn’t matter where you are in the world, vote if you can. I’m lucky enough to be in an area of the US where we get mail ballots, so the worst I have to deal with are right wingers complaining mail in ballots lead to fraud and then doing it themselves by dumping mail.

The USian system is so bizarre.

Here in Brazil everybody HAS to register when turning 18. The registration can get suspended if you miss an election without justification, but you get a fine for each time.

Voting is not a right, it's a duty.

ByteOnBikes OP ,

Absolutely!

It’s in the core fabric of the American system. Yet some conspiracy theory has made voting and the right to vote a difficult process.

In some countries, you get a fine for failure to vote, and voting day is a mandatory paid day off of work. I wish the US would do that.

Here voting is always on a Sunday, and for those that work Sundays, the employer has to arrange so that they have time to go vote.

That field was optional. Just don’t put your phone number in at all.

Also it would have been weird if it came back and said I wasn’t registered when I’ve been getting my mail-in test ballots on time and everything.

Don’t tell me whom I should or should not know.

Imagine not just getting a letter explaining where to go vote on which day or if you prefer how to vote by post.
