There are other measures that EMBs can use to encourage youth voters, and assist groups who may experience difficulty registering. These measures include:  

• Education and awareness campaigns to inform young voters, using flyers and brochures, radio and TV advertising, social media and online communications 
• Mobile registration units, “taking registration to the people,” that visit sports or community centers, schools and universities, at youth-specific events, and in remote locations. (This measure can also benefit specific groups who are otherwise unable to reach registration centers). Mobile registration units have advantages and disadvantages – and would need to be considered in light of the context. Also, in some cases mobile registration units could be counterproductive, because they could. build expectations of the voters that they will be able to cast the vote in the same location where they registered, which might not be the case.
•  Election-day registration, where voters can register and vote at the same time. This method is used in some US states. In North Dakota, voters do not need to register at all. They simply need to provide acceptable ID when voting. In cases where voter list is drawn from civil registry, voter registration is not required. As a caution, same day registration generally should be avoided and used only in exceptional cases (where it is contextually appropriate), as it potentially opens doors for electoral fraud.
•  Gender-sensitive programs that can encourage and support women to enter and participate in the electoral process
•  Online registration and voter data verification, where internet connections are available, facilitating first-time voter registration and enabling individuals to check and update their details online. Also, the ability to check your polling center location can be done online.
• A fair and transparent system for resolving electoral complaints and enquiries, with information readily available to voters, candidates, and political parties. The resolution process should be easy to follow, accessible, free of hurdles, and timely in its decisions and remedies.

Example: In the US, a national, online, mobile-friendly voter registration platform, Rock the Vote, has registered over 6 million new voters. Using Rock the Vote, young people can check their registration status, register or pre-register, and find out the electoral rules that apply in their state.[i]

Example: In Afghanistan and Mozambique, women-only registration teams are used to register women. In Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen, Nepal and Pakistan, separate queuing arrangements are in place, such as having separate voting rooms or venues, as well the use of security personnel from both sexes to conduct body searches. In Afghanistan, officials receive gender training to ensure that gender-sensitive processes are embedded in standard duties.[ii] 

Example: In 2016, India’s election commission established a complaint mechanism using an IT platform to manage complaints received through multiple channels in a timely integrated way and to keep the complainant informed of progress (nvsp.in).
