Question

Why do citizens have to register to vote?

A. To study if people care about voting.
B. To become part of the census.
C. To know where people live.
D. To make sure people vote only once.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D which is to make sure people vote only once.

This is because once a registered voter has voted he or she cannot vote anywhere else again since the systems will reflect that he already voted.

If there were no registration of voters then voting would be an invalid exercise without trusted results since people could vote as many times as they want for there would never been any evidence to show that one has already voted.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the option D - To make that the people vote only once.

Registration for voting is a process where a person gets registered as a voter under a particular living address and ID proof. Many countries and states follow the Election Day voter registration (EDR) process, that allows only the eligible citizens to be registered to vote or to update their registration when they vote.

Voter Registration is important so that people do not commit fraud and multiple votings from different voting centers or cities, where they do not live. The registration details are also used for tax lists, for membership in the universal healthcare system and for other purposes.
