Question by Anonymous: Do I still need to register to vote?
I live in Georgia. I’ve used this Poll Locator: http://sos.georgia.gov/elections/polllocator/PollLocator.aspx
It says I am still ‘active’ and gives me the polling location that I’ve voted at before. My registration date was 10/10/2006.
My mom’s registration date was 10/01/1994.
We haven’t gotten one of those (cardboard) voting info cards in the mail, as of yet. Will they mail us one soon? Are we set to go? Is it a “register once and you are in the system for all voting from now on” deal?

Usually, once you register, and vote regularly, you stay “active”. If you skip several elections (even local “small” ones), you’ll put put onto the “inactive” list, and I’m not sure how you get back on the “active” list beyond showing up at your polling place and talking to one of the poll workers.
In Alabama, we don’t need voter ID cards (yet)., but we do need to show some form of ID (like a driver’s license) when we show up to vote.
When I lived and voted in Florida, we had to have a voter registration card AND ID.
