Voter Registration

Voter registration

In electoral systems, voter registration is the requirement that a person otherwise eligible to vote must register on an electoral roll, which is usually a prerequisite for being entitled or permitted to vote. The rules governing registration vary between jurisdictions. In many jurisdictions, registration may be automatic and involves extracting the names and other relevant personal information, such as age and residential address, of citizens eligible to vote from official government processes such as a general-use population register usually ahead of election day. In some jurisdictions, registration may require an eligible voter to apply to be registered or re-registered or registration details being updated when they change residence or other relevant information changes. Some jurisdictions have "election day registration" and others do not require registration, or may require the production of evidence of entitlement to vote at the time of voting.
