A few things, you must be a U.S. citizen, resident of the state you are voting in, at least 18 years old by November 4, 2008, and sign your form. Changing or registering for the first time and mailing in your application, make sure you bring I.D. to the polls.

Wow, two of these guidelines sound EXTREMELY odd. I have quite a bit of experience working with the Voter Registration system of my state, and running the polls as well.

First off, how is a same day registration as voting even legal? How can a background check be performed to verify the registrant's legal status as a U.S. Citizen with Correct Address, Social Security Number, Name, DOB, Age, and Full and/or Restored Rights allowing them to vote?

Second, how can there be a "National Voter Registration" when every state has their own standards? The only National Standards are to be a Legal U.S. Citizen, Age 18 or over, and to be a Legal resident within the precinct which you plan to cast your vote.

As far as ID's, you MUST present a Valid ID everytime you vote in MANY states, NOT simply the First time. If you fail to present an ID, you will either be turned away, or you must sign a sworn affidavit confirming your status and Identification. If you perjure this statement, you will be prosecuted. Perjury typically carries a 5 year sentence.
