Do Americans have a procedure by which they can just show up and be registered on the spot on voting day simply by presenting a government issued photo-id and proof of 6 month or more of residency and then being sworn in?

No, you have to register at least a month prior to the election date.

 

Really? They don't have automatic register? Strange, in my country I turned 18 three days before an election and I had already been assigned my place to vote, without doing anything

 

 

You don't need to be 18 to register, I registered when I was 17 because the 2000 election was within 30 days of my birthday.  I voted for Dukakas.  Oops.  I'm from Florida.  You know how we are....

(bumped to keep this on the front page - everyone who cares about their own , their family's, OR their country's well being should.  If you don't care; then I better not here you complain later.)
