| Description | The nation’s election administrators say it’s time to restructure elections to reflect the way Americans live, scrapping neighborhood precincts and Election Day for large, customer-oriented “vote centers” where people could cast ballots over a period of weeks.
The task force also suggested that states:
* Prohibit companies that register new voters from getting paid by the number of registrants and punish those that misuse the process.
* Assist felons by providing them with a faster way to regain voting rights, where allowed, and better election information.
* Share voter registration information between states to avoid duplication and safeguard against fraud.
