how does this even work in usa? can't only people vote in usa who get an "invite" per mail from the government/city/state some weeks before election day?

What generally happens in the USA... which varies by state is... but generally.

 

You register to vote at age 18.  (Or whenever you want)  You check a box claiming your a US citizen. (Nobody checks if your telling the truth.)   You are assigned a polling place.

 

Then on election day, you go to your polling place.   Say your name.(or somebody elses)   They give you a ballot and you vote.

 

 

Anytime you move you reregister to get your new polling place.   That's pretty much it.

i wonder why you have to register to vote? i mean, i don't get why you even have to do that? why doesn't your city send every person allowed to vote a mail to remember them that they can vote and only these person can vote then?
