India has this implemented

2018-07-07 02:50:03 UTC  

Do you know if it works?

2018-07-07 02:50:11 UTC  

It does

2018-07-07 02:50:20 UTC  

Wait

2018-07-07 02:50:24 UTC  

Dont quote me on this

2018-07-07 02:50:35 UTC  

Let me take a look

2018-07-07 02:50:53 UTC  

It might be they make it available for everyone but it's not mandatory

2018-07-07 02:51:23 UTC  

US has on average approximately a 34% turnout

2018-07-07 02:51:26 UTC  

its awful

2018-07-07 02:51:38 UTC  

It's a disgrace

2018-07-07 02:52:00 UTC  

I also want to figure out a way to get everyone automatically registered to vote

2018-07-07 02:52:24 UTC  

Big brother has some ideas

2018-07-07 02:52:31 UTC  

Sweden had a turn out of 85.8% last election

2018-07-07 02:52:33 UTC  

Let the party help

2018-07-07 02:52:39 UTC  

Lel

2018-07-07 02:53:29 UTC  

No voter registration required in the manner it is in the US,
Citizenship and ID is all that is needed

2018-07-07 02:53:29 UTC  

lol

2018-07-07 02:53:44 UTC  

we have to register in the US

2018-07-07 02:54:06 UTC  

When you register, is that with a governmental entity or with a party?

2018-07-07 02:54:07 UTC  

Do you believe that we have that for racist reasons

2018-07-07 02:54:13 UTC  

The party

2018-07-07 02:54:37 UTC  

party, non partisan organizations, and government ala DMV

2018-07-07 02:54:50 UTC  

those are what i know of

2018-07-07 02:55:17 UTC  

I have never really understood the part of having to register with a party to vote...
Only thing you should need is citizenship and proof of that!

2018-07-07 02:55:44 UTC  

Elections Commission is typically who you do it through ultimately

2018-07-07 02:56:06 UTC  

registering to the party happens separately

2018-07-07 02:56:37 UTC  

registering to the party allows you to vote in closed primaries and i think caucuses

2018-07-07 02:56:51 UTC  

open primaries do not require membership of a party

2018-07-07 02:57:31 UTC  

iirc i am a registered democrat although im in an open primary state so it doesnt really matter

2018-07-07 02:58:17 UTC  

also allows you to be a DNC or RNC elector i think

2018-07-07 02:58:52 UTC  

tbh kinda registered on a whim when i helped a Dem campaign

2018-07-07 02:58:59 UTC  

we lost

2018-07-07 02:58:59 UTC  

Interesting system...
In Sweden the parties get to chose their own candidates and only party members are allowed to take part in the ranking of candidates to the different government bodies

2018-07-07 02:59:07 UTC  

was super close though

2018-07-07 02:59:26 UTC  

Representative democracy has its perks...

2018-07-07 02:59:30 UTC  

Anyone can run here

2018-07-07 02:59:44 UTC  

Parties are mostly just the pedistool

2018-07-07 03:00:01 UTC  

although the DNC and RNC allow the party to implement some control

2018-07-07 03:00:06 UTC  

yeah anyone can run here too, as independent candidates. Anyone is also free to start new parties

2018-07-07 03:00:23 UTC  

yea we can start parties too

2018-07-07 03:00:40 UTC  

ive got the party registration site bookmarked just in case
