The Application - Format: The size of the new form is not conducive to our current filing system.  To change our filing system now is to cause a financial burden on my locality.  Information Required: Part 1 for the SSN – “Write “None,” if no number…” will cause confusion for voters.  We have never come across a situation as long as we can remember that a voter has NOT had a SSN.  Please consider striking that verbiage.

The Regulations – Part B:  omissions are not material – Having read the changes and reviewing the application we can resolve the size issue.  It would seem that as a registrar I would only need the potential voters SSN (only if he/she had one); date of birth; full name (but not really because their suffix isn’t really needed); residential address (and mailing if different) and last but not least a signature.  Well maybe a mark if sworn or strike that it doesn’t have to be sworn if the check box in 7 hasn’t been checked.

I apologize if this seems to be sarcastic but it is extremely frustrating as a registrar to take what is perceived to be a simple change (i.e. increased size of the application) but has far larger impact on those of us that have to implement those changes.
