This is NOT acceptable as presented. Take the advice you are being given by the ones that use it.
 

1. Restore the traditional size. Filing would be a nightmare if the size were changed.  Registration cards have been the same size for many years, our systems accommodate them perfectly, leave it alone, please.

2.  Remove the nonsense under the SSN, it will create problems where there are none. It will also save space on the form.

3.  The "Protected Voter" info is going to confuse the average voter, put it back near the signature line where it appeared in the past.

4.  Items 6 & 7 need to be flipped.  No explanation needed.

5.  Remove the color, place a box in bold lines around the form.

6. Put the receipt on the reverse like the old form, and restore the "office use only" portion on the back. .

**Thanks for adding "Today's date" to the oath area, for some reason people often write their birthdate in it!**
