this is not true, AFAIK. There is a process for registering and verifying. the UK requires registration, though you do not need photo ID

re: UK and Australian

Thanks, I'll followup, see what's what. I hate being wrong.

I would have bet money (or a beer) that both had universal voter registration.

Especially Australian, since I understood their voting is compulsory.

I guess it qualifies as universal voter registration. The voter roll is a separate thing is what I meant. There are forms for registering, but it can be updated automatically by other government data sources. The important thing is updating your primary residence.

No photo id is required to actually vote.
