I don't know how the system works in the US for having the right to vote, but here there's no way you could vote without your papers or without being registered on the voting list, but we are delivered papers from the time we are babies, whether we can drive or not and encouraged to enlist for the voting list as soon as we are 18 (voting age).
Every French citizen is expected to be able to produce their papers at the drop of a hat. It wouldn't be so hard to have ways of identifying who we were for voting purposes or any other purpose, for that matter.
It seemed to me that that 'law' was all a ploy to rob people of their right (and duty) to vote. I think in Belgium voting is compulsory (the duty part). It's a shame people squander their right to vote by not going, but sometimes, the choices are so unacceptable, it's no wonder.
