Carter proposes on election day registration and direct vote
The Carter administration urged Congress to allow same day voter registration and to amend the constitution for direct popular election of president and vice president. Mondale outlined a broad election law revision including public financing and Hatch Act liberalization. He cited Minnesota's 1976 election day registrations and projected costs up to 15.5 million dollars. Reps Brademas and Thompson promote universal voter registration for federal elections with 20 cents per ballot to pay costs. Minnesota and Wisconsin already use simplified registration with positive results.
