Social networking website Facebook is to help get unregistered voters to register before the 20 April deadline.

In a tie-up with the Electoral Commission, Facebook users who visit the site over the weekend will be asked if they have registered to vote.

If they say "No" they will be sent to a page linked to the Electoral Commission that lets them enter details online.

They then have to print out this page and post it to their local council's electoral registration office.

...

The Electoral Commission says applications have to be sent by post, and not simply via e-mail, because of a legal requirement to prevent electoral fraud.

...
BTW, that's happening in the UK, not the US.
