Sorry, vote suppressors: Missouri–yes, deep red Missouri–is offering a granule of good news on the voting -rights front. Secretary of State Jason Kander [a Democrat] has announced that Missouri citizens can now register to vote, or change their voting address, via the internet. Hooray, the 21st century is beginning to dawn in my state! By doing this small, but vital, good deed, Kander is bucking the alarming trend toward increased voting restrictions that has been sweeping the states in the past few years.<\/p>\n

Under the new procedure, Missouri voters can fill out registration forms on a computer, and the secretary of state’s office will complete a preliminary review. The forms then will be printed and mailed to local elections officials to check for completeness and validity. The on-line voting site is here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Before the change went into effect in late December 2013, Missouri voters could print out a voter registration form from the secretary of state\u2019s site, but then they would have to mail the document to the appropriate jurisdiction.\u00a0 [That’s a significant hurdle, by the way. It’s inconvenient. Plus, knowing who oversees voting in your area requires a level of awareness that, sadly,\u00a0is not universal.] The new procedure puts the state staff in charge of seeing that the registration ends up in the right place. According to recent news reports, 193 people registered on-line at the new site within the first 24 hours of its launch.<\/p>\n

According to Kander’s office, 15 other states–including\u00a0Missouri’s neighbors Kansas and Indiana–\u00a0currently have online tools for voter registration, and five others are developing them.\u00a0 Interestingly, Arizona was the first enact on-line voter registration– in 2002. According to the National Council of State Legislatures:<\/p>\n

Arizona\u00a0 reports cost savings by eliminating the data entry process for state and county employees that a paper-based system requires, as well as increased accuracy in its voter rolls. The costs associated with a paper registration were 83 cents, while the cost of an online registration was 3 cents, according to the 2010 report, Online Voter Registration: Case Studies in Arizona and Washington<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Online voter registrations require a driver’s license number or the last four digits of a Social Security number, and the inclusion of these data in all online registration allows for quick and accurate checks for duplicate records. For more details on online voter registration, see the June 2011 issue of NCSL’s elections newsletter, The Canvass<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

(a) In Delaware, people who register to vote in person at a DMV office experience an electronic, paperless process. Also, voters who register from other locations and have access to their own digital signature can submit their application online. However, voters who do not appear in person at a DMV and do not have access to an electronic copy of their signature must print the registration form, sign it, and return it by mail to election officials before their registration process is complete.
\n<\/a>(b) In New Mexico and Ohio, a registered voter can update an existing registration record online, but new applications must still be made on paper.<\/p>\n

<\/a>(c) In New York, the registration system is not fully paperless.\u00a0 Voters can submit a voter registration\u00a0application online, but paper is exchanged between the motor vethe system and the statewide database. This creates a paperless experience from the voter’s perspective, but administrative processes are still paper-based.<\/p>\n

<\/a>(d) In Michigan, an online system permits voters to change their address for both their drivers license (or personal ID card) and voter registration at the same time. Michigan law requires that the same address be on record for both.<\/p>\n
