Francis: Failure to become properly registered to vote prevents one-third of the voting-age citizens of Lagonia from voting  If local election boards made the excessively cumbersome registration process easier, more people would register and vote  Sharon: The high number of citizens not registered to vote has persisted despite many attempts to make registering easier  Surveys show that most of these citizens believe that their votes would not make a difference
Until that belief is changed, simplifying the registration process will not increase the percentage of citizens registering to vote
why so many citizens do not register to vote
