In addition to fixing all of the other details on the draft voter registration form that the Registrars have described, please design a form that produces the same size form that is currently kept on file in the Registrars' offices. 

The file cabinets that are used to file the registration forms are expensive pieces of office equipment that have a specialized function, and so are not easily resold.  Differing the size of the form will require the purcahse of new cabinets by localities.  Meeting records show that the motivation for redesigning the form was a cost savings to the state.  It's all taxpayer money, and if new office cabinetry must be purchased, it seems there is a need to measure any true cost savings to the taxpayer if the new form requires the purchase of new cabinetry. 

In addition, the proposed form will result in a mixture of sizes of voter registration forms between the forms already maintained by the Registrars and the new forms as they come in.  The mixture in sizes will create nothing less than a filing nightmare.  The larger forms will be subject to fraying as the forms are handled in the filing system while searching for the smaller forms that will be hiding behind the bigger forms. 

Please go back to the drawing board and consider consulting with a form design specialist.

Also, please restore the function of the registration form to serve the purpose of notification to another state where the voter was registered by mailing the card at the bottom.  Again, the state is off loading unnecessary and burdensome costs of letter generation onto the localities.

We are greatly diappointed to learn of the impact of the legislation that stripped issuance of voter ID/precinct location cards that can be easily kept in voters' wallets.  Asking a voter to keep track of a letter instead of a voter card is impractical.  I hope the election community will work hard to change this law.

Thank you for providing this forum to express our concerns.
