Voter-registration forms incomplete in Wisconsin

Municipal clerks in Wisconsin are sorting through hundreds of incomplete voter-registration forms collected by the New Voters Project, a non-partisan effort to register 18-to 24-year-olds in five states.

Municipal clerks in Wisconsin are sorting through hundreds of incomplete voter-registration forms collected by the New Voters Project, a non-partisan effort to register 18-to 24-year-olds in five states. The forms arrived Monday in municipal offices across the state without proof of identification, which is required for new voter registration. Now, the clerks must mail individual responses asking for proof of identification from the applicants. Some locations have received more than 1,000 forms, and some have received forms dated as far back as June with none of the required identification. Clerks across the state are scrambling to meet the deadline of next week, when municipalities must print out their voter rolls. http://www.jsonline.com/news/state/aug04/255239.asp

It’s all about "connectivity" – the connection between government and its citizens, and the real and perceived benefits that arise from that. Governments manage more effectively and efficiently through greater public input and feedback.
