For most people that would suffice, but there are exceptions: people who moved recently, people who is not accounted for, etc.. This way, if you are not in the database you know that there's a problem and can ask the authorities to get it fixed before it is too late and you cannot vote.

That's a different question tho - what your talking about is "Am I registered to vote correctly?" and there is no way to answer that without a DB of personal information in some way. (This could be handled better in the UK - at the recent election there was a website for last minute registrations which got lots of traffic, and afterwards they said a very large amount of people were already registered. But there is no easy system to check if you are already registered .... so everyone just used this site to sign up again.) BUT The article talks about answering the question "Where do I vote?". The assumption is the registration is correct, you just want to know where to vote. In my country, this can be answered by a information system that contains no personal information at all, so I was surprised to see the DOB & ID bit in the original post.
