Steps Could Improve Voter Registration Databases for November

April 8 -- State and local election officials could enhance voter registration databases for the November elections by implementing several short-term changes, says a new report from the National Research Council. Officials could raise public awareness about the importance of writing legibly on voter registration cards and completing them fully; review names that are computer-flagged for removal from the database; and use online registration forms to improve list maintenance and reduce data entry errors.
