    The US registration system is literally designed as a barrier - it’s why we have such pathetic turnout compard to countries with automatic registration.

      Australia doesn’t have automatic registration either, which is baffling in its own right considering we have mandatory voting.

      When you turn 18 you need to register to vote, thereby placing your name on the list for any and all future elections.
