Revision to Voter Registration Application
Items of real concerns:
Size of application is too large for the locality's current filing system
#6 - location is not appropriate due to our locality cuts off the information and mails to other states as needed; must consider relocating the placement of #6 on the application
Affirmatively indicating that the applicant is not a felon in Box 5 if the applicant has signed the affirmation is not material
Affirmatively indicating that the applicant has not been previously adjudicated to be mentally incapacitated in Box 5 if the applicant has signed the affirmation is not material
Concerning middle name attempts---accept, deny or cannot determine if application is incomplete then give the benefit of doubt to the applicant and process---- ?????
Must have the section "For Office Use Only" added to the back of the voter registration application; this section is definitely needed for every locality's office use
Must keep the placement of last name, first name and middle name on the application so when the application is filed you can thumb thru alpha cards and see the names of individuals in a consistent manner
List of content placement on the application needs to be kept to the order of keying the alpha card in VERIS.
Please consider eliminating in Box #7 the check box ----by checking this box, I affirm both that I am an individual with physical disabilities and the Affirmation statement above; eliminate the line for "Signature of individual acknowledging the mark of above. Not required except for certain applicants with physical disabilities. See Instructions. This gives more opportunities for errors when filling out the application. Form needs to be more simplified; sometimes less is better.
Background of application does not need to be highlighted in blue. The blue is distracting.
Please consider doing more revision of VA -NVRA -1 07/15 in order to simplify its format as being both user friendly as well as office friendly.
