I only find one more use. You can use SSN card and voter's registration card for I-9 purpose.
voter's registration card can substitute a driver license (werid in this case no photo ID would
be necessary).

Any other use for voter's registration card?

I dont even understand what you are saying. Voter's registration card?

My fault though. Even though I naturalized, I have not yet registered to vote ... So they give you a voter ID? Like a license? What is it?

Yes. and see instruction of I-9. You can use it together with a SSN card for work eligibility. See the
folliwing link. Voter's registration is No 4 under List B. The way to estabvlish work eligibiltiy
is to present
either
(1) A docuemnt from List A
or
(2) A docuemtn from list B AND a document from list C

Not even all states issue voter's registration card. In Washington, I registered to vote online and already voted in 2009, but I have not received any card. My wife was registered through DMV, and she also did not receive any card.

Seeing how all naturalised citizens on this forum are eager to get their passports as soon as possible, I don't think satisfying the I-9 document list would be a problem for any of us.

If you do not have a voter's registration card, how can you be allowed to enter a voting booth to vote? In otherwords,
how do they prevent an ungistered person from voting?

They check your name against the list of registered voters. You are also expected to show a photo id.

In my state (Washington), most of voting is done by mail. Major voting is done in person - you show up with an ID, they locate your name on the roll, you get to vote. Not too complicated, is it?

Does that cardboard card have your name, DOB etc on it plus some registration number? If Yes, then it is most likely your voter's registration card

Maybe. But since it was essentially a card with a postage stamp on it it's not exactly an important document. What's important is that I am on the voters' list, not that I have this "card".

Still if the card says somnething like "You must bring this card to vote" as in my case, then it is an important document

In my case, I registered to vote with King County and received the voter registration card. It is not a state issued card.

Oh, King County is fancy :) Their website even allowed voters to track their votes. I guess different counties manage voting process in a different way within one state.

On a side note, I said numerous times before that I prefer the US government to issue a national ID card which would be acceptable as a stand-alone document in all federal, state and local agencies. It does not have to be mandatory for everyone, but its acceptance in all level of government should. Something like a passport card but with the digitally imprinted signature and it should be used primarily inside the USA. Something like personalausweis or UK national ID card.

I have heard of this case but not in details. On that time I had much better things to do than to follow politics ;)

In my previous post, I was referring more to my personal experience with the state of Washington.
 
Is it OK if I dont register for Vote

Hello,

I am a USC,

Is it legal if I never register to Vote?

I dont intend to Vote
 
I read in some forums that registering for voting triggers your name to come up for jury duty? Is it right?
