The reason that isn't done in any election is because, to prevent people from voting twice, each voting station needs a list of the people that are supposed to vote there.
- jarofgreen 9y agoThat's a fair point but doesn't explain why ID & DOB are needed. I asked about this in another comment - in my country, you just need your postcode to find your polling place 99% of the time.
- NetStrikeForce 9y agoIt's needed because it depend on the census. In Spain you don't have to register to vote every time. Just show up at the place you have to, based on the census.
- jarofgreen 9y agoInteresting, but that doesn't answer my question. It's not in any way about voter registration. I'm asking why can't you be told where to vote - the original thing the article is about - based on your postcode only. But I think I have my answer in another thread.
