Good changes, but why require Gender?
 

The changes look good. However, I would question why "Gender" is still on the form at all. Since 1920, the US Constitution has guaranteed all genders the right to vote. It is unnecesary on a voter registration form because any answer is valid. No matter how it is answered, the applicant's voter eligibility is determined soley by the responses to the other questions on the form. Basically, it's a waste of time and space on the form.

 

Thank you for your time,

Adam Spanberger
