Motor voter Bill and Its Consequences
Kubiková, Karolína ; Kotábová, Věra (advisor) ; Švec, Kamil (referee)
Unlike in many other democratic countries, the federal government in the United States is not held responsible for registering people to vote. Registration was introduced at the end of 19th century and the ways of registration have changed since then. However, it is considered to be one of the main causes of low voter turnout to this day. National Voter Registration Act was passed in 1993. Its purpose was to allow every eligible American to vote. Crucial provision was registration when applying for a driver's license which is a document that most of the American population possess. Consequence of this reform should have been increased number of registered and voting citizens. This thesis aims to describe registration process and to answer a question whether National Voter Registration Act affected voter turnout in federal elections.
