Is voter registration an adult concept?

Dec 01, 2007 13:06

This post is flagged "Explicit Adult Content." It is also friendslocked, since I can set both at once. (ETA: Removed f'lock) I'd like to know if underage friends get the "explicit" cut, or if no explicit cut shows up. If so, that means they're lying about the flags only mattering on public posts.

I will probably be editing this post occasionally.

This post contains nothing erotic (to sane people, anyway), gory, philosophically complex, nor particularly interesting. It's a test post to see how LJ's new feature settings work.

To register to vote in the US--
Download voter reg form.
Description grabbed from gov't PDF. Insert Info in appropriate boxes: Box 1 - Name
Put in this box your full name in this order - Last, First, Middle. Do not use nicknames or initials.

Box 2 - Home Address
Put in this box your home address (legal address). Do not put your mailing address here if it is different from your home address. Do not use a post office box or rural route without a box number.

Box 3 - Mailing Address
If you get your mail at an address that is different from the address in Box 2, put your mailing address in this box.

Box 4 - Date of Birth
Put in this box your date of birth in this order - Month, Day, Year. Be careful not to use today’s date! [Elf note... I shudder to realize they need to put this on government documents.]

Box 5 - Telephone Number
Most States ask .... However, you do not have to fill in this box.

Box 6 - ID Number
Federal law requires that states collect from each registrant an identification number. You must refer to your state's specific instructions for item 6 regarding information on what number is acceptable for your state.

Box 7 - Choice of Party
In some States, you must register with a party if you want to take part in that party’s primary election, caucus, or convention.

Box 8 - Race or Ethnic Group
A few States ask for your race or ethnic group, in order to administer the Federal Voting Rights Act.

Box 9 - Signature
Review the information in item 9 in the instructions under your State. Before you sign or make your mark, make sure that:
(1) You meet your State’s requirements, and
(2) You understand all of Box 9.
Finally, sign your full name or make your mark, and print today’s date in this order - Month, Day, Year.
If the applicant is unable to sign, put in Box D the name, address, and telephone number (optional) of the person who helped the applicant.
Thus endeth the explicit adult content. (You must be 18 to vote. These are explicit instructions on how to sign up.)
