What state does not require voter registration?
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.
What was the original purpose of voter registration?
It is to limit the people that can vote.
Why are people allowed voter registration by mail?
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.
