1. The way that I can register to vote in the state of Kentucky is that one you can do it online and it is

actually very simple to register on line another way is I can go to the court house and ask for a ballot to vote and fill it out and turn it back in and let them do rest of it, another way is that you can get online and request a mail in ballot when you get it you have to fill it out and mail back to the return address, Also I can go to the local Health Department and go to the froont window and ask for the paper to fill out to register to vote and they will give you a little piece of paper you fill it out and turn it back in to them, I almost forgot that if you can sign up for SNAP or Medicaid, Mediccare when doing so you also get a register to vote form that you just fill out and turn back intio them and they do the rest for you. The forms that they give you are very simple and easy to fill out and it does not take no more than five minutes to complete it, Online it may take a few minutes longer but it is also simple and easy to fill out also.

They are a few rules that apply to the state before you can register and having a physical address is one of them you will need to put the actual physical address on the ballot while filling it out, if you are a convicted felon and have current charges you are not aloud to vote, if you are a convicted felon and everything is off of your back as in (you do not have any current charges pending and everything has done been taking care of you are no longer on probation, parole, drug court and etc) and they have gotten it expudged off where you are able to vote. Like for example: I am a convected felon I have done went and done my time went up for parole and I got sap I have to go and do six months at Cumberland Hope Community Rehabilitation Center for Women I completed the sap and actually stayed longer than what was requiered and when I did leave and came back home I had served my whole sentence and I was considered a serve out I was done they was nothing at all over my head any more I had no current charges I was free again like and when I talkjed to my old parole officer she told me that I was aloud to vote that she would help have everything fixed so that I could regisiter again.

2. Registration to vote inside the U.S is a simple process. There are three convenient options for

completing the procedure: online, mail or in reality. However, there are obstacles that may prevent some individuals from signing up. For instance , establishing a physical address on an identity card may be problematic in tribal areas where post office boxes are more common than actual addresses. Additional some jurisdictions demand voters to provide a government-issued picture ID or passports at the polls. Those without prosper official identity may run into difficulties.

There are some demographic groups that are statistically less likely to be registered to vote. There is a glaring lack of representation on voter rolls among minorities, the youth and the economically disadvantaged. Some people may not register to vote for various reasons, including a lack of trust in the government or a difficulty to get registration papers.

Some changes might be made enhance the current system of registering new voters. Making voter registrations publicly available and in many languages for instance, helps widen participation. Registration forms should be available in several public places including public libraries, government buildings and community centers

Disadvantaged groups nay suffer disproportionately from difficulties in registering to vote. There are a number of factors that make it harder for people of color and the poor to engage in the political process, including a lower likelihood of being registered to vote. Furthermore, persons of color are less unlikely to have a government ID, therefore rigorous voter ID legislation may have a disproportionate effect on them.

Disadvantaged groups may find it challenging to get their opinions considered in policy making faced with such obstacles.
