DANGER!!! Voter Registration Act of 1993

[BigJoe5]

SEE: http://www.justice.gov/crt/voting/nvra/activ_nvra.php

One small excerpt:

Provisions Of The NVRA

In addition to whatever other methods of voter registration which States offer, the Act requires states to provide the opportunity to apply to register to vote for federal elections by three means:

Section 5 of the Act requires states to provide individuals with the opportunity to register to vote at the same time that they apply for a driver's license or seek to renew a driver's license, and requires the State to forward the completed application to the appropriate state of local election official.

GREENCARDHOLDERS BEWARE!!!

Be careful that you check the correct box that you are NOT a USC and do NOT want to register to vote (until AFTER you become a USC and have proof of it.)

It can even be easier than to check a box on the form - in Washington state, a Dept of Licensing employee just asks whether a person wants to register to vote... and voila! No need to fill out anything. My wife was registered like this when she handed her US passport as an ID (no legal presence required to get a licence in WA), but I can imagine in some Smallville, WA it can happen to any non-citizen.
