Month: 14 Tevet 5784 (December 2023)

Sorry I should have been clearer. I don't believe it's printed on the card itself, but honestly I'd have to have a sighted person double check It is however something t hat happens at the Department of Motor Vehicles. I.E., you go to get an ID, you do the picture thing, and while you're going through that process some will ask if you want to register to vote as well.

The only population registry we have is the census every ten years. Other than that tere isn't any sort of central population registry, although I suppose in a nightmare scenario if there were a couple strategic data breaches hackers and/or other interested parties could probably create a de facto one. As to why voting registry is separate from other stuff, I'm not exactly sure, but suspect it has to do with fights between the two major political parties over how individuals identify themselves when voting: Some want a specific separate voter ID while others say the one you already have is just fine..
