North Dakota is the only state in the United States that does not require the citizens to register to vote. In North Dakota, it is usually the decision of the county seat, whether or not citizens have to register to vote.
It is to limit the people that can vote.
People are allowed to register to vote by mail in order to allow more people to vote. Not everyone can take off of work to wait in line at a government office to register in person, meaning that requiring in-person registration burdens lower-income people and shift workers more than self-employed people, upper-income people, and professionals.Following the passage of the 24th Amendment in 1964, it is unconstitutional to require any payment in order to vote in Federal elections; you'll notice that election mail, such as voter registration or mail-in ballots, will not require a stamp. Along similar lines, people are not required to register in person, as this could involve financial hardship. Most states have adopted what is called "motor-voter" laws, whereby anyone receiving a driver's license is also given a voter registration form. Not everyone has a driver's license, however, so registration forms are available by mail or at virtually every government building.
The minimum age for voter registration is 18.

Not in the United States you cannot. In the United States, a voter registration card is not acceptable proof of identity.

The National Voter Registration Act of 1993, also known as the Motor Voter Act, went into effect in 1995. This law aimed to make voter registration more convenient by allowing eligible voters to register to vote during their visit to the Department of Motor Vehicles and other government agencies.

The Motor-Voter Act of 1993, also known as the National Voter Registration Act, was designed to increase opportunities for Americans to register to vote. It required states to offer voter registration at the same time of applying for or renewing a driver's license or state ID. It aimed to simplify the voter registration process and increase voter participation.
The Motor-Voter Act (properly known as the National Voter Registration Act) was passed to help voter turn-out. It makes it convenient to register by requiring all states to allow people who apply for a license to also register to vote, whether they conduct business in person or by mail.
Voter registration stops fraud by making sure that you have the required identification to prove that you are who you say you are.
Yes. In many US states you can vote without presenting a voter's registration card and, in many cases, without presenting any ID at all.
Southwest Voter Registration Education Project was created in 1974.
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. Section 7 of the Act requires states to offer voter registration opportunities at all offices that provide public assistance and all offices that provide state-funded programs primarily engaged in providing services to persons with disabilities. Section 6 of the Act provides that citizens can register to vote by mail using mail-in-forms developed by each state and the Election Assistance Commission. http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/voting/nvra/activ_nvra.php
Shouldn't take much time at all. Go to your county voter registration office and file for the correction. In states that use drivers licenses as registration cards, (motor/voter law) just file for a correction with the DMV.
