GrrlScientist ⧖ Ⓥ 🇺🇦If they can automatically enroll men into the draft at 18, they can automatically register all americans to vote at 18.
Ask yourself why they won't.
GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺@grrlscientist This happens in every civilized democracy. Ask yourself why the USA is the exception.
MarjorieR@Eetschrijver @grrlscientist in the UK voter registration is not automatic, you have to make the effort to claim it, so further proof we are not a civilised democracy either.
"Previously, the 'head of household' was responsible for registering everyone who lived at the address, but now every individual is responsible for their own voter registration. The new system also means that people are now able to register online. Anyone newly registering under the new system will need to register themselves individually by filling out a paper or online form."

@Eetschrijver @grrlscientist you do have to renew your entry in the electoral register at intervals (mostly because some people change their address and hence where they are eligible to vote) but it isn't every year or every election. You can also opt for a postal vote, either perpetually or just for a particular election.
