When I canvass, we can see everyone in the household including unregistered, so I am prepared to help a person register when I’m comfortable doing that. But in this community, I can’t be sure if they’re eligible to vote. The registration process is thorough and, if the registrar can’t verify citizenship through the DMV or the SSA, they make follow up contact. I don’t have access to a whole list.

But in the last couple of years, registration is fixing itself here because the DMV allows you to check a box when you get your Drivers License. Kids are using it by the thousands. When they turn 18, a record goes over to the county registrar and you start getting your ballot in the mail. Here, everyone can vote by mail.
