Certainly lots of…
Certainly lots of convenience to accommodate voters: "At a Vote Center, you can vote, update your registration, register to vote, get a replacement ballot, or..." What measures are or better yet will be in place to ensure
1. this last minute "update your voter registration" is valid
2. and for the really [irresponsible] last minute wanna-be voters, allowing registration -- and then presumably a ballot both of which defy credulity unless registrant validation is a priori. Although I seriously question the efficacy of [and unnecessary burden] if "provisional ballots is the answer.
The City's accommodations are great, yet I wonder how in this day and age where even the remotest reaches of the world know we have an upcoming election that some may see voting not as privilege granted but rather an entitlement that MUST be accommodated....or worse yet to be bartered or taken advantage of.
