How voter registration is a list

Voter registration is a maintained list of people eligible to receive a ballot.

When the purchase is complete, return to the original window. It will refresh.

From the opening

Registration is the public list of people officials will treat as eligible voters in a given place. A name on that list is a record that identity, age, citizenship, and residence checks were accepted, not a vote already cast. The opening covers the roll authorizes a ballot, updates edit who is listed, and a missing name blocks the ordinary vote.

The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
