With all the news about citizens discovering their voter status has been lapsed, and new rules for being a voter, everyone should check.
But also, sometimes you forget. I have new neighbors who finished moving a month ago, and when I asked if they changed their mailing address and checked their voting status, we discovered they weren’t.
It is wild to me that in the US you’re not automatically registered to vote. The idea that you have to go through a manual process to exert one of your most basic constitutional rights is unfathomable to me.
Here when you turn 18 you can just vote. It’s that simple. No registration, no ticking a checkbox somewhere, you can simply go out there and vote the moment you’re 18.
We’re the oldest democracy in the world and as such are likely the most poorly designed.
Serious question: Is this legit? Elon and his Nazi buddies are running fake voter registration sites
If you don’t want to give a random site your information (good practice), scroll down and select your state from the drop down menu and it’ll direct you to your state government’s official website to check your registration. I actually had to enter less info than vote.org was asking for to check mine, lol.
Vote.org is an classic site for voter registration. It has existed many years
That doesn’t answer the question.
Domains can expire, be sold, have their hosting (nameservers) changed…etc it’s very conceivable given the current climate that it could be a malicious site used for data exfiltration from prospective voters. The security posture, if any, of the owner are also unknown, meaning it may be unknowingly compromised.
Especially when you have people willing to drop tens of millions of dollars on voter suppression.
Plain and simple, don’t enter your personal information into a 3rd party site. Use your official government provided ones for this purpose.
