Twenty-three other states and Washington, D.C., already have varying models of what is called "automatic voter registration". Researchers from the Public Policy Institute of California, the University of Southern California and the University of California-Berkeley concluded in a 2021 study that automatic voter registration increased registration by several percentage points in states where it was in effect, and boosted the number of people actually voting by more than 1%. Do you think states (and provinces in Canada) should offer automatic voter registration when applying for/renewing a driver's license?

In Australia, you must enrol to vote when you are eligible, and voting at state general elections, by-elections and referenda is compulsory or you may be fined. You can submit a blank ballot, but you must submit a ballot or you will be fined. Do you agree with fining eligible voters if they do not submit a ballot? Yes
