First of all, thank you for the effort put into updating the application - the format seems easier to read.  Some suggestions:

1.  We are required to file the previous voter info to other states, so this section needs to be easily cut off the form. With the new form, we would be have to cut off the signature section too, so our suggestion is to move Section 6  to Section 1 and change the wording to: "Are you currently registered to vote?" instead of 'Previous Voter Registration', followed by the yes/no selections. This wording seems clearer to the general public and would be less likely to be missed.

2.  SSN should not include the option of 'none'. We fear that voters will not include the SSN for privacy issues which will then cause denials. The denial letter that VERIS prints out could explain the procedure if the voter truly has no SSN.

3.  Mailing address needs to be directly under the residence address line to keep voters from skipping over it.  The protected voter options can shift to the right.

4. We STRONGLY recommend keeping the permanent record as 8" x 5".  By eliminating the italicized words under SSN, and shifting the Previous Voter Reg. Info to #1, you are left with an application that can be cut to 8 x 5, which we tested by rearranging according to our recommendations stated above, and the voter's name appears in about the same position it currently does, which makes it easy to locate in the drawers.

5. For the Protected Voter information I would recommend that the wording for the PO Box be put back into the instructions under the Protected Voter Requirements instead of the Address Requirements.

6.  We are not clear about what the back of the form will be.  We recommend having the same basic design for the backs as our current applications have for office use.
