editPurposes and scope
editAs described in Section 2, the Act has four purposes:
- To increase the number of registered voters;
- To enhance voter participation;
- To protect election integrity; and
- To ensure states maintain accurate voter rolls.[1]: 5 [2]
The Act's provisions formally apply only to federal elections; however, because states have unified their voter registration systems for state and federal elections, the provisions functionally apply to both state and federal elections.[1]: 5–6 The Act exempts from its requirements states that, continuously since March 11, 1993, have not required voter registration for federal elections or have offered Election Day voter registration for federal general elections. Six states satisfy these exemption requirements: North Dakota is exempt for having continuously allowed its residents to vote in federal elections without registering, while Idaho, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Wyoming have continuously offered Election Day voter registration for federal general elections.[3]: 444
