You don't have to have your registration card, but in MOST states you do have to have your driver's license.

Oh yeah....great idea.  Why reward the lazy and ill informed with same day registration?  That is akin to giving some one a driver's license without giving them a driving test.\n\nBesides, the Democrats have been pushing this concept for years along with Motor Voter Registration.  If you aren't familiar with this; it would allow peole to register to vote at the DMV when they apply for a license or filling out a Change of Address Card. The Dems/Libs claim that having people register to vote at City Hall, the Post Office or locations other than the Dept. of Motor Vehicles penalizes the poor and people who don't drive.  If they don't drive why on earth would they go to the DMV...except to get a state ID.  And really, how many people do you know that have a state ID?  My mom had a California state ID because she never learned to drive.  But she went to city hall to register (my dad drove her)...and she was a Democrat!\n\nNext the Dems and other groups will be pushing legislation to allow people to register to vote at Gas Stations, Liquior stores, Unemployment offices and video rental stores.  I kid you not...I have read articles supporting the concept to have people be allowed to register to vote at Unemployment Offices, Welfare Departments and homeless shelters.\n\nI am all for people (legal US citizens) being allowed and able to vote.  But most people seem to forget that voting is a privialge and NOT a right.  People need to make some effort to be allowed to vote.  Besides, if people are allowed to just show up at the polling/voting place to register and vote on the day of the election...how can the election officials be able to verify these "walk-ins" are citizen and ensure they are who they claim to be?\n\nSome Pro Same Day websites...I list these to show how bias some of these groups are, some of the obvious propoganda in the information and to show that even though I oppose SDR  (Same Day Registration) and the HAVA (Help America Vote Act), I have read and reviewed both sides of the argument.\n\nwww.the americanmind.com\nThis site reviews and discusses how Wisconsin already allows SDR.  To register on voting day all you have to show is that you have been a resident of the state for 10 days and show identification with your first and last name.  You DO NOT need to provide a photo ID...you can use a credit card, library card, check cashing card or even a gas, electric or telephone bill.  Gee...no opportunity for fraud with this system!\n\nwww.demos.org\nIn its attempt to support SDR, this Democratic website points out multiple reasons for not allowing SDR.\n\nGood luck with your essay.

Your voter's registration and such is usually taken care of through your local DMV.  \n\nCheck out this site: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/dmv.htm.\n\nSee if there is an option to renew your driver's liscence online.  Along with that you should be able to find the other stuff.

They always check IDs when I've voted. How else will they verify who you are? It is totally necessary to avoid someone walking in and saying they are you.

When I went in to vote I took my voter's registration card, my ID, and one of my county water bills, but all they did was ask for my name, date of birth and address, punched a few things on their little computer and gave me my ballot. You'll be fine. Take some kind of ID in case, but go VOTE!

I wish you would quit advertising this.  And please do have them verify California elections if things go weird. The addresses are on voter's registration cards.\n\nMind you California doesn't knowingly give driver's licenses to illegals anymore, although it used to, and many still are eligible to renew by mail. \n\nThis issue does have me concerned.\n\nWhat on earth is wrong with making sure those who register to vote are eligible to vote?  Yet the Democrats fight verification every time it comes up.  The last time was in a proposed amendment to the Senate immigration bill.

Technically, no. You must be a resident of the state in which you are getting your drivers license. Since you cannot be a resident of two states, this would be technically against the law. Also, since getting your drivers license also registers you to vote nowadays, this would register you in two states to vote - which is a felony.

I think it's awesome and would be even better if the individual got to keep a copy for themselves too....\n\nIf I can get a reciept at the ATM, then why can't I get one from the voting machine?\n\nAfter voting down here in Florida, I simply DO NOT trust the system as it is down here.... The machine actually lit up the name Bush 3 times even though I was touching Kerry's name.\nI hollered and screamed and caused a scene and the voting people had to throw everyone back from trying to see what was happening with my machine.... they wanted to see what we all suspected was going to happen.... and they saw it.\nOne of the poll workers kept telling me to just touch the name again. When I told her to try it, she said she was not allowed to touch my machine.\nThen, I hit Kerry's name one last time and it lit up.\n\nI still have no way of knowing if I accidently voted for Bush 3 times... \nKerry's name was on the final screen when I was checking over it, but I still did not feel confident.\n\nDon't you think it's odd that we have never before (over hundreds of years) never had a problem with "hanging chads" until a President who's father was President and brother was governor of a swing state took office?\n\nFoul.....

There is one thing for  sure. There should always be a paper vote. There is no way to verify results without one.  Do not use a ballot with chads, just a plain piece of paper. with a hole punched in it. That eliminates the BS we all suffered during the 2000 election. Next, the ballots should be counted right there,  With representatives from both parties present. Not allowed by law to be moved. And finally, All voters must present a voter I.D. That would resolve most voter fraud.

you need signature from registered voters

I'm sure laws vary from state to state, but most likely you need to file paperwork declaring your intent to run as a write-in candidate with the official in charge of the election -- most likely a county clerk. I know where I am from (Illinois) that if you don't file the paperwork, none of the write-in votes will count.

If you got voter pamphlets and you new address then no, but if you did not receive anything I would check with your local voter registration office to see what address they have for you.

You should have received a card with your voters packet that tells you where to vote; otehrwise, your county registrar of voters office

If your move is recent and you are still in the same district and you still have a valid state issued ID saying you live at the same address you registered at – yes you can vote…  \nIf not, NO you shouldn’t vote today...    You may be allowed to cast a provisional ballot at your current addresses polling place; if it makes you feel better, but the vote may be tossed out...  \nYou need to register with your current address…   normally they ask when you update you state id / driver’s license....  \n\nRegister now for the future… vote.

As long as you are registered, all you need is a government issued photo ID - like a driver's license or state ID - and you can vote. \n\nI haven't seen my voter's registration card in years, and I vote in every election.
