Denver, CO - October 25, 2017 (The Ponder News) -- Fifteen states and the District of Columbia offer same day registration (SDR), which allows any qualified resident of the state to register to vote and cast a ballot all in the same day, according to new information released by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).

NCSL defines how same day registration works, lists security processes employed, potential costs and its effects on voter turnout. Data on current SDR and Election Day Registration (EDR) is featured in an interactive map, including states that have passed but not yet implemented either procedure.

Additionally, details for SDR and EDR are broken down for each eligible state by statute citations, verification procedures, location and timeframe.
